Abstract
A system creates a snapshot of a part of copy management content which is displayed by a user interface, and which is selected by a user of the system as context for a subsequent message from the user. The system creates a hyperlink in the message to the snapshot which depicts the part of the copy management content. The system stores user entries for a tag that identifies at least one intended recipient of the message, a time when the message is made available for the intended recipient(s), and text for the message. The system sends the message at the time to the intended recipient(s) via an internal communication channel of the system. In response to the recipient of the message selecting the message's hyperlink to the snapshot, the system outputs the context for the message to the recipient's user interface, which enables the recipient to respond to the message.
