At our workplace, we heavily rely on templates and standards when working with FME Desktop/FME Form to streamline the development and management of workspaces by multiple administrators. However, many of our workspaces are large and complex, making it challenging to navigate and understand them at a glance, especially for new or less experienced users.

To address this, it would be incredibly useful if we could create hyperlinks within the workspace. For example, hyperlinks could be added in annotations that are tied to specific transformers/bookmarks etc. (see attached example image). Clicking on the name of a transformer (e.g., "AttributeExposer_2") in the annotation would take the user directly to that transformer in the workspace view.
 


This feature would allow us to:

  • Simplify the visual layout of workspaces by reducing clutter (e.g., hiding connections while still maintaining clear logical flow).
  • Save significant time by making navigation within large, complex workspaces much more intuitive.

I believe that implementing this feature would greatly enhance usability and efficiency, particularly for workspaces that involve extensive collaboration or require frequent updates.
