HTML href from a component to another component

1. The ofbizUrl macro only works for intra-component links:
<a href="<@ofbizUrl>viewimage?orderId=${orderId}>

2. For inter-component links I have seen such constructs:
<a href="/ordermgr/control/viewimage?orderId=${orderId}>

Is there a better way (macro) to refer to another component href?
The information should be in the framework as each component defines the
following in its ofbiz-component.xml:

<ofbiz-component name="YOUR_COMPONENT_NAME">

<webapp name="YOUR_WEBAPP_NAME"
        title="..."
        server="default-server"
        location="webapp/PATH_TO_YOUR_WEBAPP"
        base-permission="OFBTOOLS,WEBTOOLS"
        mount-point="/YOUR_WEBAPP_MOUNTPOINT"/>

So the below should technically be possbile to create a proper href:

<a href="<@ofbizUrl component="YOUR_COMPONENT_NAME"
webapp="YOUR_WEBAPP_NAME">viewimage?orderId=${orderId}>

Any thoughts or comments?

Regards,
René

I suggest you dig into ofbiz deeper.
things like controller directives
using Widgets.
start by looking at the xsd for them.
then look at example and other components.

Hi Rene,

You can use include statements in your custom component's controller to include controller's of other component's and use it.

Such as:
<include location="component://common/webcommon/WEB-INF/common-controller.xml"/>
