QVD links: Gitoqlok Platinum

Gitoqlok Platinum detects QVD links with variables in data connection paths:

1. FROM [lib://$(DirName)/$(fileName).qvd]

2. FROM [lib://$(FilePath).qvd]

3. FROM [lib://ADWH META$(FilePath)/$(FileName.qvd)]

As for the first two formats, initially, the links appear in grey. This is done for you to see that they are not fully detected yet because GQ needs to know the values of the variables. To define values to the variables you need to launch the Debug Mode.
