Good day. Ladies and Gentlemen.
I am exploring the specification XLL (XLink).
XLink (XML Linking Language) allows to define links within an XML
document;
It provides a standard way for specifying relationships between
resources, such as documents or elements in those documents; and
This can be helpful when working with large and complex data sets, where
maintaining connections between different parts becomes crucial.
An excerpt from an article of Mr. Hank Simon.
XLink, a language that dramatically extends the
capabilities of
linking documents well beyond the abilities of mere HTML internet
pages.
XLink enables bidirectional linking, multiway linking,
and
out-of-line linking. Bidirectional linking is simply the idea of
visiting an internet page and returning to the starting point by
clicking on the same link again. Multiway linking is the
implementation of Web rings by using XLink.
I was wondering whether XLink could be utilized for forwarded messages
and perhaps for other purposes or situations that may require more
elaborated solutions such as bidirectional linking.
Kind regards,
Schimon
