Lotus Notes embedded view from other database using formula?

Question
When creating an embedded view, a popup will appear asking from which database and which view to embed. There's also an option to use @formula to specify the view. Selecting that will present 2 more option 'Display' (radio button): 'View' and 'Formula'. How do I write formula to select view 'Employee' from 'Database B'? Let's say I'm currently in 'Database A'. In the form I already passed value for 'Database B' server and file name/path in the fields 'svr' and 'db'.
La solution
Unfortunately you can't. You can only specify the view name which corresponds to views within the current database.

Just a thought: I'm not sure if this is possible, but perhaps you could add the two embedded views into your form and then hide/show them? They wouldn't be based on a formula, but deciding whether they show/hide could be based on a formula.

It is an extensive writeup so I won't describe it here.
I've been using this solution for ages, works pretty well.
