[Manifold-l] multiple hyperlinks from a single location

[Donald Webster]

Oookay, trying to understand how that can be done, in other words, how would
the system determined which URL you want to display?

So who will go first the word doc, AutoCAD drawing or image, I haven't test
it yet but it rather strange, in any case I'll do a test.

Yes, "Linking" is the solution here. If your have multiple tables with their
own URL field, and link those URL fields into 1 target layer (URL1, URL2,
URL3, etc., ) it will recognize multiple URLs and you will only have one
actual location. 

Hope this helps.

Try doing a seach on georeference.org with respect to one to many
relationships.  I know I posted something there a while back.  The short
answer is to create a query that links your information together as opposed
to the standard "table relationship". 

Cheers.

  I have an access database where numerous documents are linked to a single
point location, when I go to make a layer out of this data if there is more
than one link to a document a one to many relationship occurs and multiple
versions of the same location are generated each with a different url. The
problem with this is that in manifold when you select a location it does not
recognised there are multiple locations at the exact same spot. In ArcGis if
there is more than one feature in the exact same position you get the option
to choose which one you want to look at.   I have tried to find ways of
creating other colums for the other URLs but there is no way I can find that
does not require manual manipulation. 

  any suggestions for how to do this in manifold?
