Create actions from uploaded documents (PDF)

We have a new idea for an innovative way to use bbb presentation

Use case 1: I want to present a video as part of my presentation flow - with a single click so that I am not busy with BBB configuration while giving a lecture. This allows me to have a streamlined way of presenting content using a mix of media. Use case 2: I want to create jump-marks (GO-TO) inside of my presentation, so that I can jump quickly to a different part of the presentation, e.g. use different presentation path.

This all is easily done in PPT - and then through screen sharing. But screen sharing is not a good solution. So we want to bring this functionality inside of BBB uploaded presentations.

Concept idea:

The PPT or PDF contains LINKS. BBB recognises those links while rendering the PPT or PDF. If the link follows a certain logic, it can automatically create additional buttons for presenters in the interface.

IF there is a video-link on the slide with allowed sources (YouTube etc.), BBB provides a button, that start the video with one click (using the currently present function for BBB video sharing)

IF there is a JUMP-Link inside of the PPT or PDF, referencing to a specific page, BBB provides a button that goes to this slide number.

@roland.alton what do you think about this? Do you think this is easy to achieve?
