Association is not very functional in web client

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hello all,

i defined a custom aspect with an associative relationship:

<aspect name="custom:IPR">
         <title>Individuele Praktijk Reflectie</title>
         <properties>
            <property name="custom:StudentNaam">
               <title>Naam van student</title>
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
            <property name="custom:StudentNummer">
               <title>Studentnummer</title>
               <type>d:int</type>
            </property>
            <property name="custom:Voltijd">
               <title>Voltijd student</title>
               <type>d:boolean</type>
            </property>
            <property name="custom:DatumInschrijving">
               <title>Datum van inschrijving</title>
               <type>d:date</type>
            </property>
         </properties>
         <associations>
            <association name="custom:Checklist">
               <title>Verwijziging de bijbehorende checklist</title>
               <target>
                  <class>cm:content</class>
                  <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                  <many>false</many>
               </target>
            </association>
         </associations>
         
         
         
      </aspect>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The association is displayed on the property page of a document that has this aspect applied, but my big question is: what to do with it ?? You can't even click it. Why would an end user go to all the trouble: go to property page, search document, associate the document. I am just wondering, how do real world implementations make use of this functionality?? It just doesn't make sense at all..

Hi,
there is a Forge Project http://forge.alfresco.com/projects/webcl-assoclink/ which makes associations clickable.
