This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
According to the phpDoc guide, you can link to other methods, classes and variables documentation with the @see link modifier. For example: /** * credit_card.address_id column in database table. * Foreign key mapping to corresponding addresses object. * To link a credit card to an address object, call the {@see Address::getAddressByAddressId()} static method. * @var int */ A link displays in the pop-up document window but clicking on it doesn't resolve to the documentation for the target method.
I am not sure how NetBeans integrates its documentation through phpDocumentor (or through APIGen) but this functionality seems to be broken in phpDocumentor. see (@see?) https://github.com/phpDocumentor/template.responsive/issues/27 If Netbeans (or APIGen) relies on the underlying structure of phpDocumentor to provide the linking of structural elements than this bug should be closed.
