The hot link capability in ArcView GIS has limited functionality. One can either hot link to an image, text file, or document. This paper examines the use of Avenue and Dialog Designer to extend the ArcView GIS hot link capability to allow the user to display images, text files, and attribute data in a single interface. The application that is the case study for this paper was developed for defense and intelligence use.
