Improve file links in Windows

[massimo ceraolo]

If mo files are associated with OMEdit, when we double-click on a link to a package OMEdit correctly loads, and then loads the package.

If, however, OMEdit is already loaded and I drag and drop that link onto the OMEdit window, the link is loaded instead of the actual package, which is useless.

I think it would be nice if the actual package were loaded.

What kind of links? File system link or what? Do you have an example?

[massimo ceraolo]

Yes file system links to a file.
I tested this in Windows, where these links have as extension lnk.

One could have a library in a folder and want to load it from several other folders where he has projects using it.
The idea is to keep a link (windows file with lnk extension) to drop on OMEdit.

I know that there are other options to do this easily: use the file menu or the recent files list.

But,just in case it is very easy to implement, allowing to drop a lnk file on Omedit and making this cause the actual package pointed by that link to load, would be very nice to have.
A good complement to the fact that when one double-clicks on that link file OMEdit already loads and loads it.
