Can we hyperlink to an object on a diagram?
« on: March 23, 2018, 02:29:35 pm »
On out Neighborhood diagrams, we list all the diagrams that the main item (the Root Vertex) appears on (that aren't Neighborhood diagrams of the related items) as hyperlinks.

However, we'd like to open the diagram with the nominated item as the focus - Find in All Diagrams [Ctrl+U] Functionality.

Is there a syntax or property we can encode in the hyperlink to get it to move the focus to the nominated element?

TIA,
Paolo

Not very sure, but have you thought along the lines of 'EA Command' 'Element Usage' as a hyperlink?

My developer instinct says.. to have t as a custom stereotype and to handle the event.

I'll give it a go...  Thanks for reminding me, Nizam!

[Edit: I tried it, but it just brings up the Element Usage dialog.  That's not what we're after.]
