Can he create links to objects outside that folder?
No, he cant. To create a link (my hack...) you first need to obtain the object reference (moniker) with a Copy operation so that you can then do a "Paste Ref." operation.
Links would be pretty useless if not.
No they wouldnt.
A common use case would be to create a link /XFolder/banner.gif to /stock_images/banners/mono.gif (for example).
However if that is allowed, he now has management rights over that image object.
I dont see how 'hard links' can possibly avoid this problem.
Right. But they would be useful to put an image in /Xfolder/images/ and then be able to paste links to it into /Xfolder/layout1/ and /Xfolder/layout2/ and /Xfolder/Development without the need to create multiples instances of the same image or without coding multiple requests for that object.
