Web content object to support URLs longer than 255 characters

I would like to request support for long URLs (over 255 characters) in the "new" Web Content control object. I imagine something similar to how it’s done with SQL using SqlSet and SqlAppend. The DspPopupMenu() function also supports working around the cicode string 255-character limitation when building menus. The DspWebContentGetURL() function should, of course, also support reading the entire URL.

Idea business value

Customer has developed their own help information system, which has big URLs with meaningful names as result. Renaming everything on this side is lots of work.

      Can you make this one public to see if it gets votes? Do we really need the big string or could we use something similar to how it’s done with SQL using SqlSet and SqlAppend?

      There is a limitation on String length that does not allow this to occur, of which we would have to introduce a "Big String" data type, of which it does not look feasible at this time to introduce a new data type.
