8.9.11.6 Using unique references for jumps and pop-ups

You can use a pair of format properties to do the following:

assign a unique reference tag to the destination paragraph

assign a reference to that tag to a hotspot.

For example, the following settings would make each paragraph with format Sidebar a pop-up, and the next following SeeSidebar format a corresponding hotspot:

[HelpStyles]

; MakeRef creates a unique reference tag in the current paragraph.

; PrevRef uses the previous unique reference (MakeRef) tag as a jump

; destination for the whole paragraph; if also PopOver, a popup.

Sidebar=Topic Slide Scroll NoXScroll MakeRef

SeeSidebar=PopOver Green Resume PrevRef

The hotspot must follow the destination in your FrameMaker document, or the PrevRef property will not take you there when you click the hotspot.

Note:  PrevRef should not be assigned to a format that already has some other hotspot-creating property (JumpHot, PopHot, MacroHot, a cross reference, or a hypertext gotolink or openlink).

See §8.8.2 Assigning properties to formats for topics and hotspots
