Diagrams in element compartment

[Mats Gejnevall]

Hi all,
I want to be able to link an element to a number of diagrams and show all the linked diagrams in a compartment in that element. Then I should be able to click on any of diagram names in the compartment to display that diagram. Is that possible? Can I do a shape script to handle this? Or is it already possible in EA?

Thanks
Mats

You can create hyperlinks (context/Common/...) or drag diagrams directly on a diagram. In the latter case you can decide how to show them (as diagram frame, etc.). You can create links for all of them.

Yes you can create links from elements to diagram using links in properties of element but not seen the ability to put those links into compartments on the element within a diagram. It may be possible via shapescripts but I haven't seen it.
If you generated HTML you get to see the links.

Bit of a kludge but you could drag the diagram onto another diagram and create a hyperlink then overlay onto an element.

Hi Mats,

Where you able to implement this via a shapescript / compartments ? Its exactly what I'm after as well.

I have tried it with shape scripts. I added a relation to the diagram (e.g. trace) and then added the attached shape script. It shows the diagram names in a compartment, but when clicking on the name of the diagram it brings up the diagram element, NOT the diagram itself. Maybe there is some shape script magic to fix this, I don't know. Or maybe I should add a improvement suggestion to EA.

     if(HasProperty("Connector.StereoType", "trace"))
     {
         SetCompartmentName("Related diagrams");
         AppendCompartmentText("#Name#");
