How to open the file specified by "importURI"? [message #715720]

By the importURI feature (such as 'import' importURI=STRING) of Xtext, it's very easy to implement cross-reference among multiple files. When we Ctrl-click certain element in the current file, the corresponding new file will be opened and the cursor will be located to the right place. Besides this, I also want to open the new file when Ctrl-click on the import statement itself. Is there any simple way to do this in Xtext? Thanks a lot.

Hi,

as the import is simply a string and not a cross reference, the wanted behaviour is not provided out of the box. You can adapt the HyperlinkHelper in order to create a hyperlink for the import. Node(Model)Utils should help you to check whether there is an import at the given location.
