Can I create a list or TOC for topics with videos?

I want to have a page that will list all of the topics with an associated video.

I looked into links, keywords, bookmarks, text variables but I couldn't figure out a way to have a list of videos.

Is this possible?

Generating a List of Hyperlinks in a Topic

In HelpSmith, you can generate a list of hyperlinks by using the Related Links feature.

For example, you can first associate specific topics with a keyword (e.g. "Video") through the Keywords pane (View tab|Keywords).

After this, you can insert a "Related Links" placeholder (Insert tab|Related Links) into a topic where you want to display the list of the topics associated with that keyword.

Properties of the Related Links Placeholder

When inserting a Related Links placeholder (Insert|Related Links) into a topic:

  1. On the Links Source tab, select the option Links defined for this placeholder.
  2. Click Edit Links.
  3. In the Related Links Editor window, add an entry by clicking the Topics by Keyword(s) button in the toolbar.
  4. Specify the keyword(s) you need (e.g. "Video").
  5. Click OK.

Remark: If necessary, the Related Links object can display user-defined hyperlinks, links to topics within a selected (or current) node in the Table of Contents, or links to topics associated with a-keywords which work similarly to keywords, but are not displayed in the help system's Index section.
