UAExpert Follow DataTypeId
Posted: 17 Mar 2021, 21:15
UAExpert has a feature that is used with References - when the mouse is rt-clicked on a reference a context menu pops up with 3 options: "Follow reference", "Browse Reference Type" and "Show in Address space".
When the current selected node is a Variable node the Attribute "DataType" is shown in the attributes pane. Rt-clicking on the Attribute does nothing. It would be useful to have a similar context menu so references to the DataType NodeId can be followed to where it is defined under the Types folder.
Also, when a Reference (or DataType) is followed it would be very helpful if there were forward/back buttons that could be useful to go back-and-forth in the references that were followed. Similar to how a browser operates, with forward and back buttons.
This feature already may be in the product, but if so, it is not obvious where it is. There's a bulls-eye to show the current object in the address space but no way to go back.
