Making td codes in sticky notes link to a timetable popup was a brilliant idea, and it would be wonderful if it could be extended in a couple of ways:

- If there is a train 0Z01-A currently in the simulation, and has a next working 0Z01-B, and I make a sticky note containing the text '0Z01-B', it is turned into a clickable link which when clicked on pops up the timetable for 0Z01-A! Intended behaviour or bug?
- In popup timetable windows there are td codes associated with activities. Can these be made clickable too? Would be excellent for finding out when a train's next working leaves, or when a train's loco is expected to arrive.

In the timetable editor there is a 'Referenced by' button that shows all the other trains which reference the selected train.

- Can this pop up a list of clickable links, rather than a message box that sometimes even chops off the end of long lists (e.g. when finding all trains of a certain train type)?
- Can this button be put into popup timetable windows as well?

That's it. Hope you think some of these might be good.

I believe the same behaviour would happen if you were to interpose 0Z01-B in an unused TD, correct? If so, not a stickynote-specific issue.

I think the behaviour of SmartStickies in relation to this differs per simulation. At a rough guess this may be the result of differing Core Code but that is only a guess.

If they could then yes it's a +1 from me but personally I'm quite happy just adding that headcode into a sticky (even the same sticky) and clicking on it from there which is a more direct method of viewing it anyway.

Any views and / or opinions expressed by myself are from me personally and do not represent those of any company I either work for or am a consultant for.

Stickies showing the wrong TT is caused by this:
Simsig reads the first 4 digits/letters (the headcode) first. If only 1 train with the same headcode is in area, Simsig will show that train's TT. Only if there are 0, or 2 or more trains with that headcode in area, Simsig looks at the -A and -B. So, if the train hasn't finished its TT, the next working's TT won't be visible except in F4.

Stickies relating to multiple workings under the same headcode work as such: When the train is on sim regardless of what you interpose (or in this case write in the sticky) it will show the TT of the train in section. When the train is not in section it will display the timetable based on the description, if no precise one is offered (5K72-1) it will assume you want the first train of the group.
