link:  (HyperIndex).  The relational connection between a region (or index area) on a parent object and daughter object in a HyperIndex stack.  When a user clicks on an index area on a parent object, the link tells TNTmips how to retrieve the daughter object on the next level.  The user who creates the HyperIndex stack defines the links as the stack is built.  (See also: daughter object, HyperIndex, index area, parent object, stack.)
