PK26824: PASTE LINK OPTION NOT AVAILABLE FOR URL ELEMENTS

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• It isn't possible to copy and paste a URL element as a link.
  I create a URL element in the "Documents View" and then right
  click to select "Copy".
  I then go to paste this as a link in another project.  When I
  right-click to select paste, I only see a "Paste" option, I
  don't see "Paste link".
  If this is working as designed, the current Online Help file is
  misleading and should be changed. In fact, the URL link is
  listed among all document types, and nothing is said about it
  being different. Then, when pasting links are described, it is
  specified that any document can be pasted as a link. To me, this
  means "any document element, as listed above", including URL
  elements.
  So, the help should specify:
  - that URL links are a different type of document (and
  differences should be listed)
  - that links to URL links cannot be pasted
  Step to reproduce:
  1. Create a URL document (this works perfectly)
  2. Right-click on the just created URL document, and select
  "copy"
  3. Click on any other project WBS item to open its document
  view.
  4. Right-click in the document view - "Paste"-option is
  available, but "Paste link" option is not.
