Thanks for the feedback. I used the word "trick" rather than "hack" since it sounded better, but ultimetly this is a workaround and not a perfect solution. There is an open enhancement request to do this the right way, but until that finds it way into the product, it's the only current workaround that I know. In most cases this will not cause any problems, but as you pointed out, if using Web Publisher, then this will not be a solution.

The packages aren't layered correctly in the generated HTML and as a result, you can't navigate properly through the model using the diagrams (drill down etc). Every time you try to click on the sub-package, the page navigates to the link attached to the main/larger package. Just thought I'd let you know because it can be frustrating.
