[Xerte-dev] Re: Additional links for a template

[Pat @ Pgogy]

The embed is a bit curve ball as not all play links are embedable.

For example the Ebook template when you play it you get the Ebook to download, that makes no sense as an iframe. 

You could also have script includes and embeds as well at different points? Depends really on user simplicity
