Description David-john Burrowes 2002-01-29 00:43:11 UTC

It might be useful to have a way for users to follow references in the variables and watches window by clicking on hyperlinks rather than by opening 
tree nodes.  Links might also be used on the names of data types (which could probably use the MDR to display the class definitions, and so on) and 
things like that.

We do not want to use hyperlinks in NB 3.4, but we want to allow this
feature for other modules.

Comment 2 Jan Jancura 2002-04-23 15:20:52 UTC

Implemented in main trunk. You can implement special Property Editor
for links. And java debugger uses links for type property of variables
/ watches, and for source property of call stack line.

Comment 3 Marek Grummich 2002-04-25 10:40:21 UTC

Verified, but see issue 22779

Comment 4 Quality Engineering 2003-06-30 17:30:47 UTC

Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
