Hello.

All the information you need is available at Adding new actions to the Document Library | Alfresco Documentation

As you can see there, there are multiple types of actions you can create.

In the problem you described, you metioned 2 different ideas that should be addressed with the samples:

How to create a DocLib action that invokes a custom JavaScript function and displays a message (Show-Custom-Message)
How to create a DocLib action that navigates to an external web page (Go-To-Google)

Please, try those and let us know if you have specific doubts.

Thanks Doug,

Tried that; one of the links I referenced. The one example that is missing is PageLink which is the one I never found any examples for anywhere.

Are you sure you checked the link I sent to you?

The example is there:

<extension>
    <modules>
        <module>
            <id>Add Document Libarary Actions (Send-as-Email, Call WS, Show Msg, Go to Google)</id>
            <version>1.0</version>
            <auto-deploy>true</auto-deploy>
            <configurations>
                <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocLibActions">
                    <actions>
                    ...
                         <action id="alfresco.tutorials.doclib.action.goToGoogle"
                                icon="google"
                                type="link"
                                label="alfresco.tutorials.doclib.action.goToGoogle.label">
                            <param name="href">http://www.google.com</param>
                            <param name="target">_blank</param>
                        </action>
                    </actions>
                </config>
            </configurations>
        </module>
    </modules>
</extension>

Doug, thanks again but we are looking to do a "PageLink" not a "Page".

Ah, right.

So in this case, you can check this page Alfresco Share Document Library web tier | Alfresco Documentation

There you will find an example
