Link this Hyperlink to Element File

[Uffe]

Hi all,


Well the title is a bit of nonsense, but I arrived at it by combining three very useful features: hyperlinks, Link this Note to an Element Feature, and "file" links inside elements (which can actually target either local files or hyperlinks).

What I'd like is the ability to create a hyperlink in a diagram (regular Common toolbox hyperlink thing) and then slave it to one of the entries in an element's "file" list. That way, I can show these external things in the diagram and not have to open the element properties dialog to follow them, but at the same time I only need to edit the actual link in one place.

So, same functionality as Link Note, but restricted to an element's "file" list. Of course, if it's easier or better to extend the current Link Note function so that you can select "file" in the Feature Type dropdown list, that's fine too. But the resulting note must then launch the link when clicked, not open a properties dialog.


Cheers,

I'd rather see unified features, e.g. one konsistent link feature no matter where links are used (aka colour dialogues)

Aren't request like this actually exposing a desire to have the presentation of a model work like a wiki?
