Adding hyperlinks in drawings

bryan_lagrange

I would like to see the ability to add hyperlinks inside drawings.

Here is the scenario.

I made an Onshape document that contains tabs of documents that pertain to the manufacturing process (weld procedures, quality documents, etc.). These are our company specific documents that need to travel with drawings through the mfg process. Not every job has the same documentation so I would want to only add the hyperlink to a document as it pertains to the job.

Instead of having to add these documents to every Onshape document that I create I would like to place a hyperlink in the drawing that when clicked on, it automatically directs you to the Onshape company document that contains the document (weld procedure, quality, etc.)you need. 

This way I upload the company specific documents one time to a central location Onshape document and only have to add the hyperlink to all future drawings to direct you to this page as needed.

@bryan_lagrange  Great idea!  And the link should be able to be on drawing templates also.

I took the liberty to create an improvement request here.  Click and vote!!

This would be a good idea, links can really speed the processes up and having an Online database like Onshape helps.

This is a little different but related to links, I just recently raised an IR for an Onshape shorten link service like bit.ly, this could be also useful for adding links to drawings
