Substitution parameters in PI Vision navigation link

When adding a URL, it would be really useful to be able to reference the value of an attribute on the current element.   Use Case: In PI AF an asset could have an attribute with the element path of its parent site. On a Pi Vision display of the asset, a link could then be added taking the user to the site.  This would enable 'drill back up' after a user has drilled down.  A display could then also contain 'breadcrumbs' showing the various ancestors.   Also see my post regarding substitution parameters on collection criteria.

    FYI this does work. I just started browsing the Vision enhancements request list and came across your issue. I just did this, and it's actually quite simple. Just put the attribute you want to reference in single quotes. I.E: \\%Server%\%Database%\\'Attribute' I am not sure if this didn't work when you posted your comment a bit over a year ago, but it seems to be an added feature now. The URI builder "settings" pane also has this functionality and you can choose which attribute to reference.
