Network Manager: Adding context menus to links (link origin example)
Body
One of the many configuration options of Network Manager is the ability to add context menus to topology links.
A new article has been added to the Tips & Tricks wiki page that provides a small but fully working example implementation of such a link menu tool.
The example tool provides a topology origin summary from ncp_disco's current topology databases. As this tool makes use of a database table introduced in 4.1 it will not work in versions prior to 4.1.
The article can be found here.
