Question on extended new link type and link target endpoint
![]()
I've extended a new link type for the work item. And the target end point object is also a work item. Now we are trying to find a way to give a customized dialog to allow user to select the target work item in different way when users try to add this link type to a work item.
But we didn't find any extension point to do that. Is there a possible way to do this extension? And is there a way to change the trigger point to add the link for the work item? For example, when user try to add our customized link type, a dialog provided by us will be pop-up to enable user to select the target endpoint object instead of the current dialog. Another question related with this topic is that can we add an extended model item as a target endpoint for a link type? For example, if we have a customized item which extends the basic artifact item in RTC, can we link a work item to this type of customized item? Many thanks in advance. |

![]() I've extended a new link type for the work item. And the target end There is a mechanism to contribute picker modules as documented in the OSLC-CM specification see e.g. https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/CALMPicker Your problem sounds a bit different, though, as you are trying to extend RTC itself. Unfortunately, there is currently no extension point for this, but I have created https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/95421 for this request. Another question related with this topic is that can we add an Yes, that shouldn't be a problem. If you also implement the StandardLabelProvider mechanism for these items, the label in the work item editor is under your control. Otherwise, we will show the link comment. In order to open the item, you will also need to participate in the HyperlinkHandler infrastructure. The missing part is again the picker, as described above.

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.
