Interleaf QuickSilver

You can create a linked icon in two ways:

by creating a link to a selected icon
by creating a linked icon in the current window and changing the pathname to another directory

To create a link to a selected icon:

Select the icon to which you want to create a link.
Choose Link from the Edit menu.
A link to the selected icon is copied to the QuickSilver clipboard. The linked icon's name is the same as the original but appears in italic.
Open the container in which you want the link.
Choose Paste from the Edit menu.
The linked icon appears in the current container.

To create a link to another directory:

Choose Link from the Edit menu.
A host directory icon labeled NoName appears in the current window
Select the NoName icon
Choose File Properties from the File menu.
The File Properties dialog box appears.
Choose the Interleaf Info sheet.
Delete NoName from the Name text box, and type the desktop name you want for the icon.
Choose a QuickSilver container type for the icon from the Class drop-down list.
Choose the File Info sheet.
Delete the pathname in the Link To text box, and type the pathname of the directory to which you want to link the icon.
Click OK

NOTE: When you create a linked icon, you own the linked icon, but the target icon retains its original owner.
