Reference Requirement from url link

[Rich D]

Is there a way to add a Requirement_ID in a Word document as a url, so that if I click on the url it opens EA and shows that specific project/requirement  e.g.      http:/local.ea.link/<req_id>

If that is not possible, is guess there is someway to search through the EA database for the Req_ID and pull back the text locally for display.   Thinking of the Management Dashboards that are separate to EA and pull data from multiple sources, and are usually build internal to company procedures/policies.

Thanks

There is an open source project somewhere called "EA Protocol Handler" that did this, but think it has been abandoned for a few years now.

If you want another tool to be able to access EA you'll have to write some kind of program or dll or,...
You can use the EA API to access the repository and return the relevant data.
I don't recommend going to the database directly, although that is technically perfectly possible.
