Linking to selected content in a source or node

You can use the ‘Copy’ and ‘Paste As See Also link’ commands to link two ‘chunks’ of selected content. For example, you can link two different paragraphs within the same document, or link a picture region in one source to selected text in another source.   

To link two 'chunks' of selected content:

  1. Open the source or node you want to link from—its content is displayed in Detail View.

If you are linking to content in another project item, open the source or node that you want to link to, so that both items are open in Detail View.

  1. Select the content that you want to link to (the destination of your link).

For audio and video sources

For picture sources

  1. On the Edit menu, click Copy.

  2. Select the content that you want to link from.

 Right-click:

  1. Right-click the content you want to link to.

  2. Click Copy.

  3. Right-click the content you want to link from.

  4. Click Paste As See Also Link.

Drag and Drop:

To do this between sources, you will need to undock one of the windows:

  1. Put your cursor on the window you want to undock.

  2. Click the Window menu and clear Docked Window.

  3. Select the content you want to link from.

  4. Select the content you want to link to.

  5. Hold the CTRL + SHIFT keys and drag to the content you want to link from.

 

If you link a reference item (for example: a source inside the node) to another item, the 'See Also' link will be created from the source itself and not the node where the source is referenced.
