Reverse linking

[teethdood]

Normally OD parses arguments to other programs in Program Links. What if I want to parse an argument to OD? In example, i want "opendental phone 18001234567" to fire up OD to the patient(any in the family) whose phone number (any) matches. That should make it easy to integrate a google voice app to fire up OD a la asterisk PBX

You're asking about command line arguments. We currently process the command line arguments listed here: http://www.opendental.com/manual/commandline.html
We would need to add another argument. The syntax would look more like this:
opendental Phone=18001234567
You would need to submit a feature request for that.
