Reference entities by links in textual values #25

Open tudorache opened 10 years ago

tudorache commented 10 years ago

From user request:

Reference other classes through hyperlinks in definitions. Example:

A [filling restoration - link to class] in which a moldable restorative material is placed directly into or on the tooth. The material then hardens and becomes (essentially) part of the tooth. (Compare with indirect restoration)

Does this mean that names should be parsed out of text in annotations?

I don't have additional information, but I would expect that the user could specifically insert a link to an entity (e.g. by selecting it, or using a special character,e.g., #), rather than parsing, which can be imprecise.

o.k. I suggest some kind of markdown syntax then.... [See This](http://....)

For what it's worth, this is already supported in WebProtege in the Entity Description view.
