Re: GRC Documentation tab

[Barry Duggan]

Hi Marcus,

Here is what I would like to happen:

1) The user has a GRC flowgraph open, clicks on a block, selects 
Properties, and selects the Documentation tab.

2) The user clicks within the text block of the Documentation tab. It 
contains the URL of the wiki page for that block, but as far as I can 
tell, there is no way to make a clickable link in a text block.

3) Since we know which block Parameters screen is open, we know the name 
of the block and can derive the URL from it.

4) By intercepting that click, I would trigger a link to the wiki for 
the user's web browser.

I haven't dug into the GRC code enough to know exactly where to put the 
code to do that, but it would be a neat feature to have.

Any suggestions and/or assistance would be appreciated greatly!

Thanks,

Hi Barry,

not as far as I know, but well, in which part of software do you need to
know that?

Best regards,
Marcus
