categoryFilter for categorized view

hi all, all i want to do is open a view which is filtered by a selecting from a link, i.e.:

1. xpage1 has a table with columns bound to columns from domino view (as per normal)
2. 1st column is set to be 'links' to open the notes document
3. The document is opened via associated xpage xpage2 which itself has a categorized domino view.

How do i use categoryfilter to filter the view associated with xpage2. I dont get the option to pass parameters (or do I?) when clicking in column 1, only have read or edit mode.

The example in discussion template 852 is from tag cloud that generates a URL with the &categoryFilter= option. I cant find it but its the sort of thing i want to do.

much appreciated.

If you generate the links yourself, it is quite easy.

Take a look at this on how to add components to a view column:
