custom links in view control column to open the document

I am trying to create a link column in a view control to open the document using the form. I know how to do this in a repeat control, but am having trouble with a view control. If I set one of the columns to display as a link, it uses the url to open an xpage and I want it to open the document with the form instead.

here is how i accomplish it with a repeat control, but can't seem to figure out how to achieve the same thing with the view control.

"/0/" + rowData.getUniversalID()+ "?openDocument"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

figured it out for a flat view

Using a view control, mark the var property with something like rowData

Then in your column, for the Data section, set it to a computed value with something like this. I have a field called refnum which I want to appear in the column as a link to open the document. I also have a field called docID which stores the UNID of the document which I use to build the link.

I can't seem to get this to work in a categorized view at all.

var refnum = rowData.getDocument().getItemValueString('refnum')

var unid = rowData.getDocument().getItemValueString('docID');

var url = "0/" + unid + "?opendocument"

return "<a href='" + url + "'>" + refnum + "</a>"
