Specifying filename or URL for XXE.open
I want to add a button that lets me open a file from my ditamap.
So I've added the command button:
@property-value open-file()
command-button(text, "OpenFile",
icon, square,
command, "XXE.open",
parameter, attr(href));
to the appropriate styles:
topichead:before {
content: paragraph(content(item-collapser(), " ",
element-name(), " ",
" navtitle=", attr(navtitle),
" ",
drop-site(icon, icon(drop2),
color, gray,
command,
"ditamap.dropTopicref",
parameter, "topicref
'%{value}'"), " ",open-file() ));
Unfortunately, the problem I'm having is in specifying the filename. I
want to take the value from the href attribute, which is a relative URL,
i.e. reference/r_register_requirements.dita and use it to open that
file.
If I don't put in a parameter, I get an open file box, which is the
correct behavior. If I just put in a reference to the href attribute
(attr(href)or , "href '%{value}'"), the command button appears but
doesn't do anything. If I put in "file:///" "attr(href)" I get a message
saying it can't open the file.
What is the filename/URL supposed to look like? I couldn't find any
examples in the doc or the samples. Can I specify this with a relative
URL?

--> All stock commands are automatically predeclared.
* Basic commands such as insert, paste, etc, are declared by some Java
code found in xxe.jar or xxe_app.jar.
* XXE.* commands (e.g. XXE.open) are declared in the stock *.xxe_gui
files. The stock *.xxe_gui files are contained in xxe_app.jar.
* Commands specific to a document type (XHTML, DITA, DocBook, etc) are
declared in the corresponding .xxe or .incl configuration files. See
XXE_install_dir/addon/config/, DITA_addon_install_dir/, etc.
