Hi,
Map tooltip can show hyperlinks

Thanks, exactly what I was thinking about,

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
