Hello,

I would like to configure a viewer link on all datasets in a THREDDS server 
(currently version 4.2.5) I can do this in a Dataset or DatasetScan element and 
this works, but I would also like to apply this viewer link to remote catalogs 
served through the TDS. Can this be done? If yes, where should it be configured?

I tried to add a HTML viewer link (works in Dataset) and also tried the "more 
global" <Viewer> element in the threddsconfig.xml where I wrote a class that 
implements the viewer interface. Both ways work with datasets, but no viewers 
are listed for datasets on remote servers.

Is it in any way possible to configure  viewer links to datasets on remote 
TDS's? (So I can use my own viewer on remote datasets, without need for 
reconfiguring the remote server, which is usually impossible).

Regards,
