Abstract
A system and method for providing indicators of component interaction capability across navigation elements is presented. A user selects an emitter portlet that is located on a viewable page. In turn, a property broker identifies compatible handler portlets located on different pages, and displays handler icons on navigation elements whose corresponding pages include compatible handler portlets. The user selects one of the handler icons and, as a result, the property manager links the emitter portlet to the handler portlet that corresponds to the handler icon, and displays the linked handler portlet's page. The property broker also performs similar functions to link a handler portlet to an emitter portlet.
