Running a Report Studio Report from Workspace Advanced (Dictionary)

Hi folks, :D

We have a great solution for our client using the Workspace Advanced Product but I'm trying to find a way to establish a Data Dictionary for them. I'm thinking if I can run a Report Studio Report from Workspace Advanced, I can create a Simple Report of
the necessary Data Elements and have the user to navigate to the Report by selecting the Link or whatever to the Report?

What do you think? Please help if you have done this. :) :)

reports created in report studio can be run in WSA just fine; i have yet to encounter any issues with that.

Hi there. Thanks. I know that. My bad. Here is what I'm trying to do.
Our Ad-Hoc Query module is based on the use of Framework Manager Package File. So, once in WSA
the user opens the package, there are several Folders that allows the user to navigates to different Queries
for each Folder and drags the necessary fields.

This is working fine but now that we are in the need of a Data Dictionary, I was hoping I could have some sort of
LINK established so the user will select the Link and a Report will start from within our User Interface. So the question
is if a URL can be established anywhere within the Two frames of WSA (Metadata or Display (Preview)) that the user
can select the Link and it'll navigate them to a separate Report Studio Report.

As a second option, I could have a Folder with the same Ad-Hoc package for the Data Dictionary but I'm afraid that
the User may Drags the Data Elements and their Definition under the Data Dictionary Folder as a part of our regular
Ad-Hoc Folders thinking that is part of the solution for Dragging the different Data Elements rather than to just use
this Folder for checking Definition to Data Elements.

Is there anyway I can attach Definitions to different Data Elements in WSA?

Thanks a lot for your time.  :) :)
