A Tinderbox Reference File : Objects & Concepts : Links : Link Types

Link Types

The color and visibility of a link can be set through link types, available in the Attributes window. In addition to the link type default labels created Tinderbox, the user may add their own via the 'Link Type' tab of the Attributes window.

The link type is applied when first creating a link or may be altered later in the Browse Links window. The chosen link type is shown as a label on the link in Map views

The default link types are:

untitled (default value). The default value of 'untitled' results in no visible label and no type being set.

note+. The 'note+' link type is used for the 'reverse' reference in the cross-reference created by the Toolbar's Note Tool.
prototype.

Links types are applied manually when creating Links or may be inherited if set in prototypes. Using a prototype note for a new note doesn't automatically create a 'prototype' link though this might intuitively seem the case.
