Hi List,
Ongoing work on this web application! Does anyone know if there is a way of
a hyperlink being accessible via the pathology import mechanism in MD2 (and
other clinical packages)

ie if a result/message were uploaded into the Results 'Inbox' (either PIT or
HL7), is there a way that that message could have a hyperlink in it, which
could say 'more info click here' and that opens a web-browser?

A pathology provider thought it could be done, but no-one seems to know how!

In MD2 the attached pitted rtf renders the hyperlink correctly both in

this is how OOo rendered it).
Nice Tony. So MD2 uses the internal RTF program's ability to render the URL as a link for opening with the default browser. It should then just be a matter of Stephen putting the link in his data payload.

pclippie (http://www.ozdocit.org/websvn/filedetails.php?repname=pitifil&path=%2Fpclippie.py&rev=0&sc=0) is part of the pitifil suite (http://ozdoc.mine.nu/pitifil/Pitifil%20Setup%20-%20Build%2077.exe). One uses it by double clicking a local or web link and hitting Ctrl-C, then the pclippie shortcut keys (Ctrl-Shift-S by default). It uses the default Windows application for that extension to open the link. We mainly use it for viewing external TIFFs but others use it for displaying raw binary images.

Tony's solution is better for your particular problem but pclippie has its uses in getting data out of arbitrary medical applications. A similar approach can be adopted with printer redirection. pclippie was inspired by a similar routine in Andrew McIntrye's Medical Objects.
