I was just creating an About Database page for the umpteenth time, when I realized it would be wonderful if I could add a user’s name as if it were a names field right inside an About Database page or rich text field, thus allowing readers to see the user’s on-line status and optionally right click to chat with, invite to meeting, send an email, view name details, etc, just like when viewing a name within a Sametime-enabled names field on a document.
Envisioned UI would be nearly the same as creating a link hotspot to a URL or document. Instead of choosing “URL”, you’d choose “User”, and then instead of entering a link, you’d add the user’s name, or optionally a formula.
Anyway… I just wanted to get that off my chest. If anyone (Ben L via Midas?) has a way of doing this, I’d love to hear about it. I’ve yet to play much with R7. Maybe it’s already there?
