Adding Shortcuts for Navigation

In Compact HMI 800 the navigation is done in an object oriented way. When
defining shortcuts for navigation, these are available from all aspects of an object by
just adding the shortcut to the object itself, once as an aspect. This means that by
adding a shortcut to the RC1 Robot Cell object, we can use the shortcut from all
views of the cell. e.g. if we add a shortcut to RC1 that points to RC2, we will be able
to navigate to RC2 aspects from RC1 Graphical Display, RC1 Trends Display, RC1
Mechanical Drawing etc.

The figure below shows how the navigation works:

By adding a shortcut to the RC1 object, pointing to the RC2 Graphic Display, the
RC2 Graphic Display can be accessed both from the RC1 Graphics Display and the
RC1 Trend Display.
