Creating link from element to diagram as in TOGAF

[Timur Diarov]

Hello!
I've used TOGAF add-in and I saw that elements from performance reference model has feature: when you double click on the element, other diagram is opened. Such elements has some special icon like glasses.
How can I implement the same functionality in my project? Help me, please

Right-click the element
Select Advanced from the context menu
Select Make Composite from the flyout menu

Cheers

Phil

That's a great tip, thank you! Can you give me a link to documentation about it? I want to understand, why couldn't I find it myself

In the EA Help, the documentation is under:

Modeling Basics > Elements > Element Tasks > Composite Elements

In the UML Superstructure Specification the icon is displayed in Figure 15.34. However, they are called 'Hidden decomposition indicator icons' in the figure title.

If you do not know that these elements are called Composite Elements, I'm not sure how you would chase them down on the EA Help. There are various icons representing spectacles for executing view or search functions; indexing the composite element icon under 'spectacle icon inside element' might not be specific enough, but I have just put it into the index anyway. Any other suggestions?

I think it's enough, thank you
