Item Hyperlinks to WebEA
The elements created from external items can be referenced from the external application via a hyperlink back to the element details hosted on WebEA. The benefits of using WebEA as the reference include:
- Easy access to the details via a web- browser
- Accesses the most up-to-date data for that element
- No need to install a local copy of Enterprise Architect
The hyperlink reference is set in the external item when a new element is created in Enterprise Architect. For example, here we have a hyperlink, inside an item in an external application, to a WebEA page for an element:
The hyperlink reference is system-generated and shown in the Properties window for that related element:
Here is the WebEA page referenced from the external hyperlink:
