Re: Generating links in UI?

hello,

no instant solution here ( sure its important) but logically should be a 
xforms:trigger with a load action as child. then we have to find a way 
to transform this into target markup.
i hope we can slowly approach these details and fill the gaps in control 
support (itemset,copy,range,upload...) - til now we were more 
concentrated on the processing model.
any suggestions welcome.
