Configuring the "user interface extension" example project support external website links

[lawndale5]

Had a question about "Configuring the "user interface extension" example project".
I see that it's paired with "two-phase data retrieval" example project and was wondering if can make a external website appear? Is it possible to have the tab link or submenu link open a external website for example www.ibm.com in the bottom body pane/frame or as a pop-up instead of the GitHub given hosted application project as it is registered with a data source id and external site wouldn't be.

Hi lawndale5,

Yes, you can make it so that an external site appears. You effectively end up with an iFrame that hosts the content.

The given hosted application has a data source id because it is used to query a data source.

Thanks,
Matt
