I'd love to be able to have live URLs in a field in the Plant Reference Database to link to an image (and native support for thumbnails too) and in callout text on drawings to link to suppliers websites for e.g.

URL Links are a good idea. Especially when we move away from hardcopies to onscreen viewing. I looked at 'Set URL & Goto URL' from VectorDepot..works fine if that's what your looking for. But what I wish for is to be able to link references to files. E.g click on a Detail references from a section (for e.g.) and the detail drawing is opened. That'll be cool..and will move towards hand held monitor/viewing etc....

I second these ideas.

I would add that links would be exportable to layman-friendly formats (eg Word, Excel, etc), so that clients could review product specs, etc.
