Hyperlinks in EA Custom tables

[Martin Merkel]

Hi all,
I wonder if there is any possibility to add hyperlinks to other model elements to EA custom tables. This might be very useful if one intends to add additional information to table cells.
Greetings,

Hyperlinks are diagram elements. So you can not add them to elements. Maybe you should consider using stereotype properties (aka tagged values).

Thanks for the feedback. There's one thing that I don't understand however. I can add hyperlinks to element notes, which I heavily use. Are those not directly linked to the element, and not to the diagram where I finally will place the element?
Cheers, Martin

Uhm, well. This is "escaped" text in the notes. Somehow you can use that as "link" but they will never be synched in any way. Like in HTML: when the destination dies or is replaced by something else you suddenly are on a porn site ;-)

In my notes, I use links only to other elements in my model. As my models attempt to replicate (international) standard documents, they should change to frequently  Anyway, I learned my lessons in around 30 years of HTML that one cannot rely on external links. Still I wouldn't mind to use links within a model as much as possible to simplify navigation.
