Hi Landon,
I have no experience with the feature you want to implement, just some
thought :
I think opening an explorer or a pdf reader on your OS should not be too
difficult.
Making it work on any OS and with a good exception handling (ex. native
application
not available on the system) may need some work though.
I remember a feature in OpenJUMP to display images from a hyperlink.
Can't remember if it is included in the core or in a specific plugin.
Could be a good start.

We are starting to make extensive use of OpenJUMP at my new day job. I
have a need for a couple of hotlinking tools:
1) A simple hotlink tool that opens a folder in the operating system
file browser based on a file path in a feature attribute.
2) A more complicated hotlink tool that shows the user a dialog with a
list of documents related to a feature. The list is built from a
single attribute with a delimited text value. When the user selects a
value in the list, either a folder location is opened in the operating
system file browser or a PDF file is opened.
Has anyone written plug-ins like this?
If not, and I get around to it in the next few weeks, I'll publish the
code for the community.
Thanks.
Landon
