How can I convert a shortcut to a replica? I need it to export an OOM to another tool.

[GeorgeMcGeachie]

I have an object-oriented model (OOM) that I want to send to another tool using a Meta Integration bridge, which relies on an XMI file exported from the OOM. The OOM includes shortcuts to classes in other OOMS, and these do not appear in the XMI file. Replicas do appear in the XMI file, so I'd like to convert all my shortcuts to replicas.

It looks like I need to write a script to access the target object for each shortcut and use the CreateReplica method to create a replica, add links to objects in the current model, then delete the shortcut.

Has anybody tried this? Thanks.
