[oXygen-user] Generating "hot" reports

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

It is a feature request which we already thought about in connection 
with the output of custom validators plugged to oXygen in Options -> 
Preferences -> Editor -> Custom Validation. I think we can easily extend 
it to external tools. A format must be imposed for the fragments of the 
output from the tool which should be rendered as clickable links. It 
could be something simple, like:

SystemID: ... Location: ... Description: ...

with some special delimiters before the first field and after the last 
field of the clickable message.


Regards,
Sorin
