Hi,

Does Enterprise Architect allow (using out-of-the-box functionality, not a plugin) to visualize in "Project Browser" tree which element has "Linked Document" defined?

If EA doesn't have such feature than is there any plugin which has it.

No, and EA doesn't provide functionality for add-ins to customize the project browser, so you won't find an add-in that does it. The closest an add-in could come is implementing its own docked window to define such a tree.

One option you can use as alternative is to define a simple SQL search (Ctrl+F):
SELECT ea_guid as CLASSGUID, Object_Type as CLASSTYPE, Name
FROM t_object, t_document
where t_object.ea_guid =  t_document.ElementId and t_document.Doctype ='ModelDocument'

Simon, is there any chance that Sparx will add such feature to EA? It is really inconvenient to work with extensive project browser which has many linked documents under its objects.

It would be a very nice improvement to see the Documents behind elements. should not be so difficult to adapt the VICON in flsgs to elements :-)

You should send an official feature request (and optionally start a poll in the Suggestions board).
