Aim of candidate selection for link topic ID could be better

Unread post by rossmcm »

When you select text and hit Ctrl-L to make the text a hyperlink, H&M opens the 'Insert Hyperlink' dialog with the Topic ID edit filled in with what it thinks is the best candidate for the topic you want to link to.

It's aim could be improved. If hardly ever gets the correct one, even if the topic ID exists.

E.g if I have the text

This is discussed in the help topic file menu

and I highlight the text shown (hopefully!) in bold, when the dialog opens, it should select the topic id file_menu if it exists. This would make creation of hyperlinks very fast (select text, Ctr-L, Enter) when (as in my case) the topic IDs are the same as the referring text.
