OK here we are (or are we not?):

- close UR (= ALL databases)

- download the program reg.zip (link is above in a kinook post)

- there, trigger "EnableCanInsertDocumentTemplate"

- restart UR (= now the Document format is included in the lists)

- create a Document

- select and copy (^c) any item you want to access by third party programs' links

- paste that "item" onto the "header" part of the URL attribute entry of your new Document (= select the field with the word "URL" in the attributes pane, not the empty field to the right of it, then do a ^v)

- now you can idenfy your item you want to be accessible by third party programs, up to now, for UR's internal use, it's in the form

ur//c:\UR\i.urd\item=11164,1000



EDIT1: it's really in the form
ur//c:\UR\i.urd?item=11164,1000
here



In this form, you cannot access your item from the outside yet.

Neither this way: file:ur//c:\UR\i.urd\item=11164,1000

Nor this way: file://ur//c:\UR\i.urd\item=11164,1000

And this way neither: file://c:\UR\i.urd\item=11164,1000

And no chance with: c:\UR\i.urd\item=11164,1000

Neither with: ur:c:\UR\i.urd\item=11164,1000

And what about: i.urd\item=11164,1000

with the setting, in ListPro, "Linked Files Location" = c:\ur\ ?

No way, the message is "the file c:\UR\i.urd\item=11164,1000" cannot be found".



Thus, kinook, please tell you us how to access UR items from the outside; the tremendous utility of being able to do so seems evident.

EDIT2: Oh, and I tried with doing the "item=11164,1000" part in "" AFTER the path/file part, and I tried with the "?" instead of the "\": no way!

EDIT3: So I tried with "internal linking", i.e. copy an item, then pasting it into the text pane of another item, then having a look onto the "Hyperlink Properties" (= accessible by right-clicking the link).

I got, e.g.:

ur:///?item=10965,10909,10178,1000

OMG, that's complicated! Should we try with FOUR such numbers, and in which format then? But I suppose that 2 of the 4 numbers just designate the target item and the link position in that target item, so that cannot bring the solution?

EDIT4: So I finally made various tries with just the "11164" part, leaving out the "1000 part", but to no avail. And please, if it's not possible to "open" UR at precise items from the outside, please make UR accessible in this way.

Since internal links can do it, external links also should be able to do it without too much programming needed for this, I hope.
