A content creation application with an ink augmenting feature can communicate at least one recognized term from ink strokes input to a canvas interface of the content creation application to an ink augmenting service. The content creation application can receive at least one keyword from the ink augmenting service, where each keyword indicates a corresponding recognized term having available content identified by the ink augmenting service. The content creation application then transforms a grouping of the ink strokes corresponding to the recognized term indicated by each keyword to an actionable item in the canvas interface. Selection of the actionable item invokes the command to provide the available content.

Methods and systems are provided that enable single sign-on (SSO) mechanisms on rich clients running hosting applications that include documents with one or more embedded web assets. An embedded web asset may be any resource (e.g., document, image, data, etc.) that is accessed via a browser from within a hosting application. In aspects, authentication of a user identity is required to access an embedded web asset. In particular, an identity management module is provided on a rich client. The identity management module is configured to maintain multiple credentials for multiple user identities that are associated with multiple applications, whether the applications are embedded applications or hosting applications. In this way, a user may access multiple applications, including embedded web assets, associated with each user identity&#x2014;without signing into each application. That is, a user is able to login a single time for each user identity.
