Hyperlinks to model elements in notes
« on: February 06, 2009, 11:55:53 pm »
Just a suggestion, but consider being able to add hyperlinks to model elements in element notes (similar to the way you can reference document sections in text in a word doc). Of the element name changes, the hyperlink reference would be updated, if the referenced element was deleted, the deltion would be validated against any existing references and prevented. In larger models I often cross reference elements in the notes field, by name or number.

Excellent idea - here's another vote for this one - especially the automatically updated references and validation!

I'm hoping this will be in v7.5 - but sounds like I'm going to be disappointed.

Please consider raising a feature request with Sparx!
