Doclinks in Sametime 7.5
You might know that a doclink is actually nothing more than some text in a special format. The below snippet is a doclink to an e-mail in my mail database. As you can see it contains the replica id of the database and the UNID of the view and the document to go to.
Mikkel Heisterberg - Vedr.: Re: mail sync. <NDL> <REPLICA C1256833:0079BF90> <VIEW OF38D46BF5:E8F08834-ON852564B5:00129B2C> <NOTE OF1B86D647:A8161190-ONC125723D:005E6086> <HINT>CN=server1/O=Example</HINT> <REM>Database 'Mikkel Heisterberg', View 'Inbox', Document 'Vedr.: Re: mail sync.'</REM> </NDL>The same is the case for a view link except that there's no document UNID present.

For some reason the chat area fail to convert this into a notes:// URL - could be that the regular expression IBM use to match a doclink doesn't take database links into account.

Does anyone know whether this is a known issue or something I should report to Lotus Support or even worse write myself? Actually I don't think it would take too long to write since it's a slight modification of the acronym sample plugin supplied with the Sametime SDK. I would of cause prefer not to... ;-)
Re: Doclinks in Sametime 7.5
Works for me, I can send all 3 and get converted to notes-links.. (just replica id should be enough).
Also did you notice the nice feature, when pressing the "Hyperlink.." icon in the chat window, you can click on the "Click to paste from the clipboard" icon, that hyperlinks the name of the doc or database rather then posting the ugly notes url.
