Hi Marcus, those are definitely some good ideas!

That could possibly be a good way as an alternative shortcut to help set it up.

But I don't think it would work as the _only_ way to set up a file linkage, I mean what if you wanted to see what the linkages were in a file that you opened up from someone else?

What if you wanted to change the linkage to a different file name or remove it?

To fully support these kinds of tasks it really needs some kind of managment mechanism with its own dialogs, etc...


Taken all together, it is quite a large amount of work... I'm not really at a good place yet to dig into it yet.

But it is great to hear different ideas! I just wanted to explain that it may be a while yet before I am able to act on any of those.
