###The interface:

- Input is position, output html string that is shown on message.
- Optionally you can define special links (file://...) that will be sent back to the module to the performAction method

```java

    /**
     * Get a information about given position from external database.
     * @param pos Position on the map
     */
    public void prepareData(LatLon pos) {
    }

    /**
     * Return Html text representation
     * @return String htmlText
     */
    public String getHtml() {
    }

    /**
     * Perform given action
     *  e.g.: copy tags to clipboard
     * @param act Action to be performed
     */
    public void performAction(String act) {
    }

```
