The second limitation of Method 5 is related to generic parameters. Generic parameters have object dependent references, each containing e.g. sets of  that are solely related to particular objects. This implies that one wishes to relate images not only to parameter values but also to the object in which the value exists, i.e. it may become necessary to relate to value X of  in object  and  to value  of  in object .The way to do this is to use the  in the object-related references as in the following example from a parameter Switch.

will be available. In this object, for a  value of -1 the  with QBinaryID value of 12 will be shown in the Illustration form. For a Switch value of 1 the with QBinaryID value of 13 will be shown. The attribute  is included in order to tell Quaestor that it should search for an image/object in.
