Background:
I have a Screen connected/linked to a GUIElement. The GUIElement is not a child of the Screen because it has connections to many different Screens and cannot be a child of each Screen (am I right that this is a limitation?). It's relationship with the Screen is a Dependency connection (stereotype Trace). I'm using EA 6.5 and I'm a EA newbie.
Problem:
I want to generate a report against the package that contains the Screen AND get a listing of all the Elements connected to it (like my GUIElement). I CAN get the name of the GUIElement connected to the Screen as it is listed under the Connections section of the RTF report but I also need to have the reporting facility follow the link into the connected GUIElement and pull our some information to attach to the report generated against the screen (like it's constraints). Is that possible?
(It's like I'm asking for 1-level recursion down a connection link.)

No one has responded so let me try to be more clear.
Is there a way to generate a report of an element (called "A") which contains detailed attributes of the elements connected to the "A" element without having those connected elements contained in the same/lower package as/of "A"?
(I want the report generator to follow connectors)
