Welcome to the #dominoforever Product Ideas Forum! The place where you can submit product ideas and enhancement request. We encourage you to participate by voting on, commenting on, and creating new ideas. All new ideas will be evaluated by HCL Product Management & Engineering teams, and the next steps will be communicated. While not all submitted ideas will be executed upon, community feedback will play a key role in influencing which ideas are and when they will be implemented.

Now:
- Open a Notes Document for editing
- Open the file (attachment) for editing
- Saving and closing the file (attachment) for editing

- Opening the Notes Document for editing should automatically open the attachment for editing (instead of editing the Notes Document first)
- Saving the attachment should automatically save the attachment within the Notes Document
Both already exists:
if you want to open or edit attachments by double clicking, just set this Notes.ini parameter using policies

for editing office document in XPages you can do the same by using IBM Docs as Editor.
