If your model is a part of a risk analysis project involving many different documents, it is handy to be able to open the associated documents without going to the 窶廡inder窶.
If your version of the MacOS supports 窶彭rag and drop窶 from the 窶廡inder, there is an easy way to include shortcuts for this in your model document by using 窶彭ocument aliases窶.
To include a document alias, in a model, simply drag the corresponding document icon from the 窶廡inder窶 to the model window where you want it to appear. The resulting document alias will then appear with its familiar icon inside the DynRisk model file.
You can then open the corresponding document with the appropriate application, by double-clicking the document alias, just as you do in the 窶廡inder窶.
Be sure to keep the original document and its corresponding application available. Remember that the contents of the document are not stored inside the DynRisk model.
Note that some document types are handled in a special way by DynRisk. If e.g., you drag a DynRisk model document into another model, this is equivalent to using the 窶廴erge窶ｦ窶 command in the 窶廡ile窶 menu. Similarly, if you drag a 窶弃ICT窶 file into a model window, this will create a picture object. Finally, if you drag a 窶徭ndﾂ 窶 file into a model window, i.e., one containing a system sound resource, this will create a 窶彜ound窶 object.
In these special cases you can override the default action, and create a document alias instead, by pressing the 窶徙ption窶 key while dragging the icon.
