Hyperlink to another application

[franksimmer]

Is there a possibility to create a hyperlink from an EA model element?

I like to use this hyperlink placed in a work item in Team Foundation Server.
The goal is to jump from the TFS work item with command Crtrl+Click to follow the link to the EA Model element.
That can be selected in the Project Browser for example.

For testing this its also possible to place that hyperlink in a word or excel file.

Not directly. I once wrote a small Perl script/addin that used the GUID of an EA element/attr/oper/diagram to locate and show it in the repository. The hyperlink was just the GUID itself which can easily be parsed and extracted from human readable text.

I've done one of these as well, 'cept I wrote it in C#. Not as elegant as I'd like, but it works. It's not too hard to do.

If only there were a market for this sort of thing.....

Ask Geert. He's marketing his stuff. Though a Sparxian EApp-store would be nice.
