Displaying list lookups as a repeating section which contains hyperlink and picture?


Badge +1

Hi everyone,


List lookup control displays the results as either a drop down list, or option buttons. But I'd like to display the results of a list lookup (filtered on the value of another control) into a repeating section (based on the number of results) and each section contains a hyperlink to another Sharepoint document library to download the documents as well as other related data (such as last update, owner,...).
Is there any tool or method I can use to achive this?
I checked this post, good solution, but it's not something that I want:

Thank you!

that's far beyond nontex forms capabilities.

 

wouldn't list view control suit you?

could you maybe eleaborate a bit more on that?

what exactly you'd like to achieve? how the design should look like?

what's the main driver to show lookup options within a repeating section? do you need to see them all at once? do you want themto be active links? other reasons?

try to describe it from functionality point of view, not what controls you think might be used...

 

maybe one might get an different idea how to aproach it...
