I have been exploring the use of the facility to link a page containing the original information to the appropriate places in GenoPro. An individual might have links in the UK to 7 census pages and these might be connected to Birth, Address(Contact) and Occupation. The process of setting up the link is inevitably a bit tedious but then referring to it later is also not easy.

An example; having set up the link from Occupation, the steps to bring that file back onto screen are:-

1 (from the Occupation tag) Click the Edit button to bring up Occupation properties

2 Click Sources Tab to move to Source Details

3 Click Edit button (Again!!) to get to Source/Citation Properties

4 Click Open URL button to display the file

An alternative to these 4 steps would be to add an extra button (Browse?) to the group 'New Edit Pick Remove'. I realise that this is in a different class of action and it might be necessary to separate it in some way. It would also be useful to have a message "Link not defined yet" if the URL is empty. However there is room on that line for such a button somewhere.
