I have the power to confuse anyone when it comes to this WO/D2W! OK. I created a screenshot with comments and I've posted it here: http://www.kahalawai.com/ToManyLink.jpg
So yes... I'm using embedded d2w components. Each of the thumbnails is a link. When the user clicks on the thumbnail it should keep the first two columns the same and in the third column keep the action bar but replace the list of thumbs with a form to edit the thumbnail (or create a new one). The model is: Product ->> Product Images -> ERAttachment The selected object in the display group is a "Product" the list of the thumbs are Product Image eos. I'm just trying to figure out how to put that component action in there... so I keep the current selected object but I have a secondary selected object somehow. Does that help? Or make any sense?
