  The specific link for an item selected in System Architect
  definition instance must be highlighted even when filter is
  on. Problem is with way coding is done in SA DOORS
  integration.
  
  When there is no filter set, find query is set as filter
  query and the query is run. Result is module is opened
  highlighting the element. Only that particular object is
  displayed in module.
  
  When filter is on, looks like the find query is not attached
  correct to the filter, which leads to just filter being
  applied and the first element is displayed. Since just the
  filter is applied, list of items matching "object text is
  not empty" is displayed, highlighting the first element.
  

Problem conclusion

• Use compound filter to query "link for an item selected in
  System Architect" along with the existing filter. This will
  filter the contents of the module first and then run the
  find query to highlight the linked item.
  
  If store the found objects in a Skiplist, then use that to
  "accept" them once the module is open, the item is now shown
  in addition to those shown by the filter in place.
  
  There is no concept of setting focus in DOORS DXL. The
  default highlighted object as soon as a module is open, is
  the current object and DOORS has an internal implementation
  for highlighting it. On Find, the object matching the query
  is highlighted by setting it as a current object. Perm for
  that is "current"
  
  use something like
  accept(Object o) // After accept, set the accepted object as
  current
  current = o //This will get the focus on the selected object
  
  
  The "Find in DOORS" feature should now find the object
  associated with the selected link.
