Title: How do I link an item to several other items? Unique item IDs?
Post by montillo on 05/04/09 at 20:49:39

Is there a way to link one subitem to several other items rather than just one parent?

I assume the answer is no.. but then is there an accessible "unique ID" (in relational database terminology) associated with each item, so I could at least add a note into my outline such as "for more details see also "item id 2456" and "item id 0947" ?

the id# is DYNAMIC so not stable.

you can link between magicview view pages, but that is not likely what you're after.

you can create slang tool dependencies which likely will do the job for you.

There is a nice link tool that allows creating links between items, not officially released, but hopefully, in not too distant future will be.

[edit]ok,

basically since somebody (you) asked about it,

released the magicLINKS tools.

tool should bring some joy.
