    Tryig to add some more details about my problem...

    I need to get LinkResourceURI from images in placegun (after import of idms file)

     

    Closest event i found to use is afterImport, and then the the structure of data is

     

    PlaceGun -> Snippet -> Rectangle -> Graphic -> Image -> Link

     

    I have the image id via: placegun.snippets[0].rectangles[0].allGraphics[0].id (id 233)

    How can i get link attributes for the <Image> <Link LinkResourceURI='bla bla'> </Image> ?

     
    Any ideas ?
