User Interface:
1.) Extension UI
Explanation and features
- Ability to embed artifacts into the primary text of another artifact
- Ability to embed pictures into the primary text of another artifact

Explanation of version 1:
- Request was to replace each "figure" with picture and "ref" with artifact
- This was all done by searching pictures in 3 folders with specific attributes that match each "figure" or "ref"
- The script then finds each picture and artifact, embeds it and creates "Embeds" base link
Explanation of version 2:
- Request was to embed "RV", which are artifacts, from one module to another
- User collects all "RV"s in first module using button Collect RV, then clicking Embed button in second module
- This has worked based on custom attributes aswell as creating base artifact link "Embeds"
Restrictions
