Summary0017464: Reference external file. Create a part of Scribus XML document programmatically. (Use Scribus as a professional frontend)
DescriptionReference external file. Create a part of Scribus XML document programmatically. (Use Scribus as a professional frontend)

Can we import an external file as a LINK ?
So that when the external file gets an update, the Scribus layout also reloads and displays the update ?

-> If this is possible, then Scribus can be a professional frontend for NEWS paper etc.

Think about a Weather service live data -> new data as XML -> format for Scribus -> AI for Text based on XML data -> Layout in a Scribs Box frame.

Not at the moment, except raster images and PDF in image frames.
