Creating HyperText, Picture and Documentation Links
Objectiver allows you to associate any concept of a diagram to a picture, an hypertext or a reference to any Objectiver document. This can be made in a two-step
process: first you have to create a concept of type HyperTextLink, PictureLink or
a DocumentReference in the diagram. Then you have to connect the hypertext, picture or document to the concept of the diagram, you want to associate to, by creating a DocumentationLink relationship.
Step 1. Creating concepts of type HyperTextLink or PictureLink in diagrams is
done in the same way as concept creation (refer to Section 6.6.1). In the concept
palette, select the “HypertextLink” or “PictureLink” concepts from under the
“Other Concepts” Palette. Section 7.5.1 explains how to add references to an existing Objectiver document into a diagram.
After creation of the HyperTextLink or PictureLink concept, click it in order to fill
in the address property in the property editor. See Section 8.6 to have an example of
the different possibilities. In the generated web documentation (see Section 11.0),
these concepts are hyperlinks to the referenced documents. The concepts of type
HyperTextLink or PictureLink can also be opened from Objectiver by right-clicking
the concept and selecting Open in external browser in the context menu.
Step 2. Creating relationships of type DocumentationLink in diagrams is done in
the same way as relationship creation (refer to Section 6.6.2). In the concept palette,
select the “DocumentationLink” relationship from under the “Other Concepts” Palette.
Concepts having HyperTextLink, PictureLink or DocumentReference concepts
associated with them through documentation links are displayed in bold in the
Objectiver explorer (see Section 7.0). The hyperlinks and Objectiver documents
linked to those concepts can be opened directly from the explorer by right-clicking
the concept and selecting Open document in the context menu.

Refine a goal in a new diagram
1. In a diagram, right-click a goal and select Refine in new diagram in the con-
text menu.
2. Objectiver prompts you to specify the name and package of the new diagram.
The operation
• removes the refinement subtree of the selected goal from the diagram
including all other concepts and relationships (such as operationalization,
responsibility and operationalisation) linked to it in the diagram
• recreate it in a new diagram
