There is a panel link tag that works similar to HTML tags, '<ext/>'
Here is an example using multiple panels, save these all in the same folder:
Link panel:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><abs contexttype="opengear" gridsize="20" id="_top" keepalive="true">
<label height="60" left="40" name="Linking Panels" style="txt-align:west;size:Bigger;" top="40" width="620"/>
<label height="20" left="40" name="You can link other panels in your panel, using the ext tag." style="txt-align:west;" top="100" width="1100"/>
<table bottom="1779" left="40" right="2083" top="160">
<tr>
<ext colspan="1" fill="both" name="Panel 1" objectid="subpanel1.grid" rowspan="1" weightx="1.0" weighty="1.0"/>
<ext colspan="1" fill="both" name="Panel 2" objectid="subpanel2.grid" rowspan="1" weightx="1.0" weighty="1.0"/>
</tr>
</table>
</abs>
Subpanel 1:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><abs contexttype="opengear" id="_top" style="">
<label bottom="6" left="4" name="This is PANEL 1" right="10" style="txt-align:center;size:Biggest;" top="4"/>
<abs left="289" top="166"/>
</abs>
Subpanel 2:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><abs contexttype="opengear" id="_top" style="">
<label bottom="6" left="4" name="This is subpanel2" right="10" style="txt-align:center;size:Biggest;bg#navigationbg;" top="4"/>
</abs>

Subject: Button on DB Panel to Open DP Panel
Hello,
Would anybody be able to point me in the right direction to do the follwoing 'task'/command?
I want to make a button on a DashBoard Panel that opens another Panel on the same Ultritouch or PC.
How do i do this?
I have found the open.file command, but i dont know how to use that. I can see there is a comment section for that node, but im guessing there is more to it.
