Attaching photos to label styles

[bill.s]

I would like to be able to either attach or reference an image from a point label style and I would like it to display with either a mouse over or a mouse click. As an example, I would like to attach a photo or photos of a headwall to the point style or point label style of the survey point or civil point that the surveyor shot on the headwall.
Am I asking too much of C3D 2011-2015?

I cannot see any way to do it within Civil3d specifically, but the base ACad software allows you to attach a hyperlink to any object in a drawing.  As a test I've attached an image file on my desktop to a cogo point in a drawing.

I confirm, the command is _HYPERLINK whilst to show the image, you have to CTRL-click on the object.

For instance, check the attachment out: that's my home country (with OD) and one of our main symbols embedded in the red point.

If you have multiple photos you could use the "Reference documents" field (also in the Extended Data tab).

Thank you boys for your time and suggestions. I was hoping to find a way to code one of the components with the location of a photo and have it display by selecting the label style. I have been using the hyperlink but I thought hooking a label style to a photo might be more efficient.
Thanks again.
