[oXygen-user] Maps in editor don't have keyref support like topics do

[Echlin, Robert]

Hi Radu,
We have been habitually using "Open file at Caret", so when it didn't work, we didn't try "just left click".
Thanks for your explanation. 
I will inform the writers and there will be joy and jubilation. <grin>

Hi Rob,

First of all, Oxygen uses the DITA Map currently selected in the DITA 
Maps Manager as the context for resolving all key references.
We have plans to allow users to designate a certain Map as the context 
map in a future version.

Please see some answers below:

This does not work indeed, Open file at caret currently works on 
resources explicitly referenced.
But I'll consider this an improvement request.

What you can do is to switch to the Author page and click the keyref, 
this should work if the key is correctly resolved in the DITA Map.

This should work as long as the main DITA Map is the current selected 
map in the DITA Maps Manager, see the first explanation.

Radu
