Is there a way to make a story from one repository connection reference a story from another repository connection?

 I have a story in repo1 that I want to depend on a story from repo2.  I can load both of the repo connections in my eclipse.  I can load and browse project areas from both repo connections.

When I go to specify the story to depend on, the "Select Work Items" dialog has a pull-down of project areas, but it only shows the project areas from the repo this story belongs to; none from repo2.

Is this possible?  Thanks.

you cannot 'depend' on, block, parent/child, or related links across repos.

you can setup a change request, and use that to link items loosely.
(in Eclipse)
open the project config, links tab, associations section (upper right). On one side define provides
you have to add each project one at a time,

on the other server do the same.

then you can have the change requests linked.. two one way links..

useful links across repos is an enhancement request
