Description kbaegis 2013-06-06 20:35:57 UTC
This is a feature request to enable linking data from a spreadsheet or database to an object in draw in a manner similar to MS Visio.  This is critical for well managed networks using a database as the authoritative mechanism for data and management.  
Operating System: Windows 8
Version: 4.0.3.3 release

"feature request" so I put it as enhancement.
Comment 2 Joel Madero 2014-06-25 06:18:11 UTC
Please provide more information as to what this linking would do. Do you mean that you click on the shape and a document opens? A screencast of what visio does or documentation of some kind will be useful.

Marking as NEEDINFO - please provide a clearer description of what you're hoping to see and then mark the bug as UNCONFIRMED. Thanks!
