Using "Copy Item Command Line" ???

[igoldsmid]

I would like to be able to copy the link to an Item in the Tree - and put it in the Notes or Item Details of another Item

Why?

I am reviewing a lot of documents in UR, collecting text snippets from many of them, and pasting those into the Item Details of a single Documents Summary Text Item... I would like to paste reference links back to each Item for which a specific Text Snippet belongs - I would like to position that link at the end of each snippet in the Item's text details. This will result in one Text Item, with a lot of text snippets in the Details field - and a lot of links in the details field referring back to the specific Items to which each snippet belongs.


Having read the Copy Item Command Line Help, and the Miscellaneous Options to configure it - I still have no clue as to whether this is possible, and if it is, how?

Can anyone help?

Thanks...

The Copy Item Command Line functionality was intended for opening a UR item from another application, not UR itself.

One way to achieve this would be to create a text file (outside of UR), paste the command-line into it, save it with a .bat or .cmd extension, then enter that filename into the UR text item like so:

<file:///c:\path\to\file.bat>

Or, you could use Item | Copy Create Desktop Shortcut instead, then enter the shortcut's filename like:

<file:///c:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\item title in db.urd.lnk>

Unfortunately, in both cases, Windows XP pops up two security dialogs when clicking on such a link before actually launching it, and I'm not sure if/how to prevent those.
