Andi Huber commented on ISIS-1999:
----------------------------------

We do have the 'o.a.i.applib.annotation.***Layout#describedAs', which sadly holds a constant string, that has to be specified at compile-time.

Would it be feasible to change or extend 'describedAs' to allow for more advanced use-cases?

Eg. describedAs could be of type Class<X> where X is some interface that suites well, such that we can generate 'describedAs' content on the fly and also on the fly decide whether to display as tooltip or some more advanced (help) page.

Key: ISIS-1999
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ISIS-1999
Project: Isis
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 1.16.2
Reporter: Dan Haywood
Priority: Major
Fix For: 1.16.3
These would simply be rendered underneath the OK/Cancel button.
One property might also show help markup, or hyperlink to reference guides etc.
As a refinement (perhaps split out to separate story), allow a layout file (with same name( as mixin to be specified. Perhaps this might even (through some extension to the existing syntax) allow the parameters to be laid out differently, eg over multiple columns).
