Getting url for menu item from external file

Is there a way that I can pull the url for my new menu item from an external file (for example keep the url in opentext.ini) instead of declaring it like this?

item_NewItem.func_url = str.format("?func=ll.Logout")

I should be able to do this:

item_ item_NewItem.func_url=c:\opentext\.......

What will be great is that I can create a section in opentext.ini for the url and pull it out from there.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I prefer to save the url in livelink database (kini) table. If you have cluster environment you have to manage the url in several servers (different opentext.ini files).

if i read the topic i noticed that i have done the property or settings management module based. But it makes sense to create a little module to manage properties centrally and store these in kini table (using capi package ini functions).

So i created a module. It creates a section into admin index page - "Custom Properties Administration". In this section there is a page "Configure Custom Proprties". There can add, delete and modify custom proprties. All the properties wil be saved on kini table, section name will be 'custprop', keyword and value will be as you type on the form.

To use custom properties from oscript is easy. In this case if i add custom property called "myMenuItemLink" with value'"?func=ll.logout" the code for url is
item_1.func_url = Str.Format( "%1", $Custprops.CustPropsUtils.GetProperty( prgCtx, 'custprop', 'myMenuItemLink' ) )
