Hello,

i got a model containing the following node.


class Reference {
   attr String name;
   attr String path;
}

i post it modelled with emfatic here.

I want to add an option to the Dropdown-Menu of this node.
So when i add one Reference Node to canvas, and right click on it, i want to have a new option called "Set path..." where i can use my own javacode to get a popup.

How can i add such an option ? Can i use my own javacode in it ?

Greetings
Snakebyte

Why not use the properties view?

simply for usability.

but if you can explain me, how i can customize the properties view like i get the popup when try to edit the property path, it would be a possibility too.
