Link inside proposals? [message #710849]

Hi all,

inside default proposals for content assist there are links to other classes, for example.

I have extended content assist of default XML editor...but how I can insert a link to a website using "http://..."?

Thanks
Marco

Content Assist is only inserting the text using its proposals, so
there's no reason you can't propose something that looks like a URL.
What you're seeing as hyperlinks are generated dynamically through
contributions to a separate extension point, although I'd be surprised
if you somehow weren't getting the detector that recognizes URLs.

My error...I do not want put a link inside the content assist proposal but inside the description box that appears when you highlight a proposal. I mean the "yellow" box containing additional information on that proposal.

My proposals are taken from an external XML file using XPath; for each proposal I get also some "extra" information that are displayed in that box (see image here: http://wiki.openclonk.org/images/thumb/1/16/Eclipse_ContentAssist.png/600px-Eclipse_ContentAssist.png )

In that box I would like to write an URL to a website.

Thanks
Marco

In that case you'll want to make note of which widget is used to display
that information, and see whether there's a way to place linkable text
within it. It might be as simple as marking up the link as you would in
HTML source.

To the existing Eclipse XML Editor, we are contributing new proposals in the CompletionProposal using the CompletionProposalComputer extension point. Now in the additional information dialog, we also want to enable the toolbar to provide an action for Opening the Declaration as provided in JDT.

We are able to achieve this in our custom editor coz the sourceviewerconfiguration allows us to add our own ContentAssist stuff. but how do we achieve this in Default XML Editor of Eclipse.
