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.
Comment 1 Jan Jancura 2002-04-15 14:31:43 UTC 
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.
