Hello Bob,
thank you for your immediate answer.
I wanted to activate with the 'implicit-link' <elink: fi> the explicit
button <(fi)> in the same document. Or did I not understand the manual?
Here the info:
the 'explicit button' is named: <(fi)> at line 850 of my file
here the output of {C-h A}
-------------------- begin --------------------
A press of the Action Key
WHEN (hbut:at-p)
CALLS (hui:hbut-act) WHICH WILL:
Execute action for optional Hyperbole button symbol BUT in current buffer.
The default is the current button.
link-to-regexp-match BUTTON SPECIFICS:
Find REGEXP’s Nth occurrence in SOURCE and display location at window top.
SOURCE is a pathname unless optional BUFFER-P is non-nil, then SOURCE must be
a buffer name or buffer.
Return t if found, signal an error if not.
lbl-key: "fi"
loc: "/home/er/git/wlnm/zur-wlnm.tex"
categ: explicit
actype: link-to-regexp-match
args: ("Thathandlung" 1 "/mnt/fichte/sw-01.txt")
creator: "dr.erich.r...@t-online.de"
create-time: "May 18 09:30:40 CEST 2021"
-------------------- end -----------------------
the 'implicit-button' on line 1:
<elink: fi: /home/er/git/wlnm/zur-wlnm.tex>
works with fullpath
------------------ begin fi-fullpath ---------------
A press of the Action Key
WHEN (hbut:at-p)
CALLS (hui:hbut-act) WHICH WILL:
Execute action for optional Hyperbole button symbol BUT in current buffer.
The default is the current button.
elink BUTTON SPECIFICS:
At point, activate a link to an explicit button.
This executes the linked to explicit button’s action in the
context of the current buffer.
Recognizes the format ’<elink:’ button_label [’:’ button_file_path] ’>’,
where : button_file_path is given only when the link is to another file,
e.g. <elink: project-list: ~/projs>.
lbl-key: "elink_fi"

lbl-end: 46

actype: link-to-ebut
args: ("fi" "/home/er/git/wlnm/zur-wlnm.tex")
------------------ end fi-fullpath ---------------
the 'implicit-button' on line 3
<elink: fi:> or <elink: fi> does not work
------------------ begin fi-no path --------------
