Okay, I have a problem here, but it is sorta complicated.
I won a auction contract with an alt a while ago - among many others, I do a lot of contract trading. However this one got bugged somehow. It was not appearing anywhere a la "a contract is requiring your attention". It's not findable with any option in my journal nor contract tab. Neither did I got a refund of my auction bid.
However, I saved a link to the contract with *another* alt in his own info tab. When I open it up it shows that I (better: alt 1) won the auction, but hasn't claimed the item yet (surprise, surprise).
I petitioned it then, 2 weeks ago, but do not have any high hopes that it will be answered soon, if at all.
Now, the thing is that all contracts have their own "url", which is contract:number//number/. If you have a working link to the contract you can open it as normally. If alt 2 could send the link to alt 1 he should be able to open it and claim the item since he is the winner. However you cannot simply send it. If I copy/cut the contract link to a mail or alt 2s bio I only get the name of the contract, but no link to it. However, if I hover about it I see the contract "url" - and if I try to open it in a new window it tries to open it in the ingame browser (with a page not supported message), where it can be easily copied.
So, now I have the auction link text. The little problem here is turning it into a real auction link. I had not much luck there so far.
Anyone having any ideas or is my only option to wait if my petition gets answered in 6 months?

1) "Reply" to mail. It quotes the contract, exactly, with the link.
2) Change "to" address.

Been there, done that. It does not work.
You can drag a contract from the contracts tab to a chat, mail, bio or notes without problems. However, a link dragged in those cannot - from there and not the contracts tab - be dragged again to another source then.
Or at least, I cannot. Perhaps I am bugged there somehow *shrugs*
However, I think I just found a solution (or I misunderstood the people here and/or found something out other people take for granted knowledge).
You cannot re-drag an auction link, but if open the contract link you can get a working drag&drop if you click on the contract symbol in the opened contract.

Yes, I *know* - thats exactly what I wrote in my last post. And, yes, it worked that way.
I didn't knew previously that there is a link "hidden" in the opened contract.
