createLink(sourceItem,destinationItem[, linkTypeStr])
The operator createLink() can be used for basic link creation. This is useful when neither the source nor the destination of the link are this note. The arguments sourceItem and destinationItem must be defined so as to identify a single (existing) item.
Example:
$MyList2.each(anItem2){
$MyList.each(anItem1){
createLink(anItem1,anItem2);
};
};createLink() may also cope better than linkTo() and linkFrom() with the edge case when a note's $Name (or those of other notes in the note's path) contain forward slashes. Such paths are challenge as in string form the differing meaning of the use of slashes (container delimiter vs. note title) is ambiguous to the parser.
Optionally, a link type for the new link may be specified using linkTypeStr. If that link type does not exist, it is created.
