Action tool

[Michael Omni User]

I really like the new addition to the action tool, namely the ability 
to jump to another location in the same document.  This feature was 
probably the one that motivated me to go buy OmniGraffle Pro.  (I was 
trying to implement something like this in Applescript for OG 2, but 
didn't see any way to determine the selected object, for the purpose of 
determining which object to link the jump script to...)

However I am somewhat disappointed that it still doesn't seem to be 
able to do a couple things I would like to do.  Maybe these are things 
that will be implemented in 3.1? :-)

The main complaint I have is that the "jump to another location" jumps 
to a location, not to an object.  In creating large tree diagrams, it 
is useful to be able to "continue" a branch on a new or different page. 
  I would therefore like to click on an object, and jump to another 
object.  The way it is set up now, if I move the target object, the 
jump doesn't get updated unless I do it manually.

Another feature that would be useful is to be able to jump to an object 
in a different OmniGraffle document.  One reason for doing this (and 
this is not the only reason) would be in the case where a document is 
too unwieldy and needs to be broken into multiple smaller documents.  I 
realize that with multiple canvases this is probably less of a problem, 
but breaking it up in this way could reduce load time as only parts 
that are needed must be loaded.
