Hyperlink Object Actions
Go Up to Automated Error Detection and Coding Aid Features
Hyperlinks let you invoke object actions against object names referenced in an ISQL Editor script. A configured keystroke combination (default, CTRL+right-click) opens a menu with commands specific to the supported object type:
- Note: In addition to the object type-specific options, the context menu also includes SQL editor options typically available when right-clicking in the editor.
The following table shows the object action availability in Rapid SQL for supported object type hyperlinks in the SQL editor:

Before using the Hyperlinks feature, complete the following setup tasks:
- Ensure that the object types for which Hyperlink object actions are to be available, are being indexed in the datasource index. For details, see ISQL Options - Code Assist - Advanced Tab on page 214.
- Ensure that the Hyperlink feature has been enabled, the appropriate keystroke combination configured, and the menu details selected. For details, see ISQL Options - Code Assist - Main Tab on page 211.
Once setup tasks are complete, the Hyperlinks feature is available in the SQL Editor.
To invoke an object action using the Hyperlink feature
- Use the configured keystroke combination anywhere within the text of an object name reference for a supported object type.
