Document Generation - show linked document

[slurpie]

Hi all,

I have a sequence diagram where various webservice calls are modeled on.
For each call, I specify the mapping of the input and output parameters in a (linked) document artifact, which I refer to in the sequence diagram by means of a hyperlink.

The document consists of the sequence diagram, and all the mapping documents which are referred to.

I have created a template which starts from a package where the diagram is located in.

The problem is that I am not able to show the linked document in a generated document, because the element of the diagram is the hyperlink, and not the document artifact itself.
The ea_guid of the document is mentioned in the hyperlink element's name, but I don't know how I can use this in template fragments.

I also cannot drag and drop the document on the sequence diagram, because it is depicted as a lifeline.

Does anyone know how I can generate a document with the linked document via the standard document generation given the above?

Kr.

ps: I have written some vbscript code to generate a document and then I get the wanted result, but I want to make use of the standard functionality of EA as much as possible

You can use virtual documents.
Use one for the part with the sequence diagram, and another for the part of the linked document, using a search and the elements GUID as parameter.

See https://bellekens.com/2015/11/12/tutorial-generate-complex-documents-from-enterprise-architect-with-a-two-step-semi-automated-approach/ for an example of that approach
