Associated Files

An element can be linked to files held in the database, using the Files tab of the element's Properties dialog.

Note:

Linked files are a good way to link elements to additional documentation and/or source code.

You can also insert hyperlinks in diagrams to other files, and launch them directly from the diagram. This is an alternative method to that described here.
