Lotus Notes Outline tricks

Here are some tricks switching selected outline entry in embedded outlines:
1. We need for outline entries to define aliases, that could be used for referencing
2. For embedded outline should be defined name attribute (ex. "MyOutline").
3. To select required outline entry programmaticly it is required to set field "$MyOutline" ($ should be used as prefix for fields - full syntax "$"+OurDefinedOutlineName) value in opened document (to which embedded outline belongs) to outlineentry alias name (ex. "myDocs") and then doc should be refreshed, to apply entry selection.

P.S. @now there are problems to select outline entry just after form load, only using timer.
