Links

“A link has two ends, called anchors, and a direction. The link starts at the source anchor and points to the destination anchor. A link from one domain to another is said to be outbound from its source anchor and inbound to its target.” - Wikipedia

So a link does have direction, which I guess should have been obvious from the procedures in making hyperlinks. Actually, when I use hyperlinks, say in OneNote, I usually want a directionless connection. So, I have to make two hyperlinks.

So it must be false that programs with “linking” avoid posing a choice about subordination-superordination. A wiki is completely isoomorphic with an outline with cloning. Or is there some distinction I’m missing?
