Phrase Links
Phrase Links allow you to re-use one phrase (folder) in multiple other folders and even other phrase files.
The phrase is only stored once and the links point to the original phrase.
Links can be identified by a little chain symbol in the phrase/folder icon:
Sample applications
- Cross-topic phrases can be called from multiple phrase folders containing specific topics.
- A selection of phrases of different phrase folders can be combined in another folder as links and can be individually sorted in that folder.
To create a link:
- Open the main program window.
- Highlight one or more phrase (folders).
- Right-click the highlighted items and select "Create link".
- Move the created link(s) into the desired folder in the tree view.
To create links even faster, drag & drop phrases while pressing the ALT-key.
Deleting a phrase also deletes any link to it.
Deleting a link does not affect the original phrase.
If you edit the contents of a phrase link, you actually edit the original. The link is an alias and routes any change to the original phrase.
