SharePoint 2010 has a nice feature called "Document ID". This gives users the ability to open documents using [siteurl]/_layouts/DocIdRedir.aspx?ID=[DOCIDHERE]

This works fine, but It always opens the documents in read-only mode. Normally when a word document is opened in read-only, you have a button on top saying "edit document". But using the docidredir.aspx page, this button is not visible in word...

Anyone know how to edit a document this way ?

Thanks

OK, we have the same issue and the only fix I know of is the following:

Add the following entry into the users registry.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Internet] "OpenDocumentsReadWriteWhileBrowsing"=dword:00000001

For a large number of users this would need to be done via Group Policy of course.
