PDF Process Flow
Hi Richard,
This is via the External Reference Links slot on a class. Create one of these, and give it a name. Next, in the External Reference slot of the created class, add the URL to the document, which will create a link in the Supporting Documentation section of a view. For some types, e.g. png, you should be able to embed on the page - just add the External Link Type.
Hope that helps
John

Hi Richard,
I've done some digging here and there are two issues at play.
The first is that the feature John described earlier does indeed show a link but the feature which renders the image inline is not yet rolled out and will be available in the next release, early in 2019.
Once you come to use this, there are a few things you need to be aware of. The pattern file:// is considered a security threat by most browsers these days and can't really be practically used. An easy way to check this is to try the path directly in the browser address bar and see what happens.
Instead, you could created a new folder inside the webapp (called something like 'external' or 'resources') and store the images in there.
Then in Protege, the url would be relative to the application so something like
external/000000.png (important here not to have a leading slash)
or another way we see this used is to host the links on a document store such as Sharepoint and get links directly from there
I'll update back here once this feature is available.
Apologies for any confusion.
Neil
