Joined up models and notes/descriptions

[Dave.B]

It would be very good to have the usage of every modelling element's name (including the glossary terms) automatically recognised and locked to the element's definition in any reference to it in any note field, wiki style. This would provide the following benefits:

• automatic emphasis of the model's terms in the text (which is very important for the development of a consistent language in the model and the project)
• automatic hyper-linking and mouse-over tool tips in certain presentation views (e.g. HTML, RTF, etc.)
• automated refactoring when element names are changed (i.e. propagate changes)
• reports on a term's reference usage

Hope this proves of value,
Dave B.

This feature would be extremely useful. There is an EA addin EA Object Editor which adds this feature to EA (page is in czech language).
But it is an addin with its limitations. It would be much more nicer to see it as a build in feature.

Magnificent suggestions Dave. [But I'm not surprised...]

Has been asked for (form of a "meta glossary", can't find the thread) since years. Still useful. Still not here...
