[mapguide-internals] Motion Vote: RFC 119 - Enhance URL information in vector layer definition

[Sam Wang]

Hi Zac,

Existing layer definition will remove original url field, and replace it with a urlData field(complex type with four fields) as described in the RFC and backward compatibility will be kept. So there is no duplicated fields.
And also I think  tooltip is not  the same as "Url Description",  tooltip for a feature can be something entirely unrelated to the URL assigned to the feature.

Thanks,
Sam

Thanks Sam,

that makes more sense now, given that this would be in part duplicating the existing tooltip and url fields, wouldn't it be simpler to just add tooltipOverride and urlOverride, i.e still use the existing fields ?
