External LinkOuts

[Kalpana Karra]

Currently, we can provide External Links to say PubMed based on PubMed ID. This works as long as the base URL and parameter name is fixed and we can substitute <<attributeValue>> for the links.

But, there is no way to provide external links to completely different URLs for the values in a given column. For example, each Publication can provide link to 'Free Text' and this is different depending on journal etc.

So, if people see the need for this ability in Intermine..perhaps it should be implemented?

Thanks,
-Kalpana

I think we would like this too.

It would be cool if crossReference.identifiers could link to  
crossReference.dataSource.url (appending crossReference.identifier to  
the url to make the link work) on every page they shows up on  
(reports, lists, object pages, etc...).

Also, some of our crossReferences have a url-suffix: a bit of text  
after the url+identifier that makes the link work.  I put this in my  
DataSource class.  Does anyone else have this?

Yes, that would be very useful. In MGI, we store URLs as templates that
contain
a substitution pattern where the id gets plugged in.

Thanks Kalpana, I think I get what you need.

However, given your specific example, wouldn't linking to different journals be
dangerous since some users may not have access?  Linking to pubmed they would at
least have the abstract.  Or is that what you plan to do?

But in general I get what you mean.

Cheers
Julie
