Hyperlinking to a Diagram from a Send Element

[George Fraser]

Good morning,

I'm trying to directly hyperlink to a diagram from an element type that doesn't allow decomposition diagrams as an option.  Is there any other way to get a link to a diagram that opens with a single click?

I'm using Sparx 11.0.1107 with the BPMN MDG.

Our users are having trouble following the way BPMN Signals link across diagrams, so I've created some additional diagrams to highlight which signals in different processes trigger one another.  I want to make the appropriate additional diagram open when a user double clicks the signal event, exactly as a decomposition diagram would for those elements that permit decomposition diagrams.

As the BPMN MDG represents BPMN Signal Events as UML Send/Receive Elements, the option for a decomposition diagram isn't supported for that element type.

I'm looking for a solution where the link is integral to the Signal element (as opposed to putting transparent hyperlink objects on top of them, for example) as I'm going to be reusing the Signal elements many times.  

Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

Regards,

George

You can drag the target diagram near the place where you want the click action to happen and then choose hyperlink. The created element can be linked with a note link to some other element.

You could go Element|Advanced|Change Type and change it to an Activity (say), set its composite diagram, then Element|Advanced|Change Type and change it back. Then send in a feature request asking that Events have this functionality by default.

Thanks both for your suggestions, much appreciated.
