Automation in creating external (inter-document) hyperlinks in eCTD submissions

    Hello everyone,

    I wanted to understand what automation is currently available in creating the inter-document hyperlinks while publishing eCTD submissions. I know the pain in creating the links to the citations from M2 summaries to M3, M4 and M5 content and specifically if it is a huge NDA or BLA submission. I have seen some companies are using internally developed macro-enabled tools that eases this process, but there are still larger number of companies who takes this pain and spends considerable amount of time in this time-consuming process. Any reference to any existing automation that is currently available would be of great help and support. Any suggestions and ideas also welcome. Let's make eCTD publishing faster.
