Can I add a custom links in sugar crm to call entrenal url with data from sugar crm?
E.g. http://www.mydomain.com/app1.aspx?accname={account.name}
{account.name} is taken from sugarcrm open account data.

Please explain a little more what you're trying to do .... I'm pretty sure you can do it but don't quite understand the requirement

Hi,
ok, here is the situation.

I want my user able to call other web based application from account record in sugarcrm web.
And when call the app, data from sugarcrm need to pass over.
example the acc name is "ABC FUEL CO 555954" so with this custom link,
user can click this link and browser will open
http://www.mydomain.com/app1/default.aspx?id=ABC FUEL CO 555954

Or is there any other way to work around this?

The easiest way is to use the website field in the account record and paste the url in there ... i'm assuming it's a static url?

Or, with a little custom code the web field could append the account name and pass that as a variable .. but that need some development
