Description Pavel Buzek 2002-10-11 15:11:46 UTC

- define intra-project links which can be used as an object's identity
- when URL resolving strategy changes all links can be updated
- use intra-project link to construct name of settings contexts

Comment 1 Vitezslav Stejskal 2003-02-28 11:16:21 UTC

It seems that there is no good general solution for keeping links
up-to-date. It works for links loaded in memory, but doesn't work for
those which are not loaded.

The settings API found its own way how to deal with this problem, but
it is not generic solution usable for others.

Having the links repository in project is ugly because it pollutes the
project file by implementation artefacts of the project
infrastructure. The other parts of system (like organizers, etc) will
have to ensure that links they maintain are loaded in memory or
refresh them manually.
