1. A computer-implemented method, comprising operations for:
generating a linkage table with a first feature in a first application of a plurality of applications and in a second application of the plurality of applications, a second feature in one of the first application and the second application, and a third feature not in the first application and not in the second application, wherein the linkage table includes a first link to first information and a second link to second information for each of the first feature, the second feature, and the third feature;
receiving a selection of the first application;
receiving a selection of a feature from one of the first feature, the second feature, and the third feature displayed in a first web page; and
in response to a parameter in a file indicating that the first application is to be compared,
receiving a selection of the second application;
identifying the linkage table based on the selection of the first application and the selection of the second application, wherein each pair of applications in the plurality of applications is associated with a different linkage table;
identifying the selected feature in the linkage table; and
redirecting from the first web page to a second web page in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) with a first window in the second web page displaying the first information for the selected feature and a second window in the second web page displaying the second information for the selected feature, wherein, when the selected feature is in the first application, the first information describes the selected feature for the first application, and, when the selected feature is in the second application, the second information describes the selected feature for the second application.
