Abstract
A system and method for creating shortcuts within a database for archived items. A client computer sends a retrieval request for a given item to a web server. The given item may be an electronic document. A custom HTTPModule within the web server intercepts the request. The HTTPModule uses a uniform resource locator (URL) provided in the request to locate a record associated with the given item. If a given fixed string value is read from the record in place of the original content data, then the web server requests original content data for the given item from an archive store. The record still maintains identification information, such as a document identifier and the URL in order to maintain links and workflows. The retrieval request is not rerouted to an alternate path, and the client computer receives the original content data, rather than an indication of a shortcut.
