Override component functioality

I'd like to know what's the best way to override functionality of the download button/link? What I mean is if I want to manipulate the file on the content server before downloading it to the user using my custom webservice but keeping the original file on the content server without manipulation. Is it possible to change the functionality of the download button/link of the UI to call my webservice which will be responsible for manipulating and downloading the file?

By the looks of it you want an intercept of the file being called by the user on a click. I have seen watermarking solutions that does this but they all work in Oscript and it’s ability to call java methods

I don’t think livelink will allow you to manipulate its copy

Without going through some APIs like add version or rendition as it considers the file sacred

This is a core Oscript job I am talking about perhaps the new smart methods may entail you to get there via JavaScript and unbeknownst you may actually be writing Oscript because that’s the new paradigm

Anyways let the pundits speak perhaps blazon or brava already may have this as a usable mechanism

My thoughts are above

Ciao, Appu
