I saw one once that (I think) Shane Hathaway did. Looking for it now I can't see it though Zope.org, perhaps there were problems with it. -- Andy McKay. ----- Original Message ----- From: "tom smith" <tom@othermedia.com> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2001 9:32 AM Subject: [Zope] feature suggestion (aliases)

hi all

This would be really really useful.

An object type which just contained a reference to another object elsewhere in the system. It's main view would be, er, view (rather than edit) . It would behave like a Mac's alias or (I think) like a unix softlink.

It's only purpose would be to make navigation of the management screens easier and quicker. It's only *other* purpose would be to avoid duplicating code that doesn't fit into the hierarchy. Of it's three purposes...

cheers

tom
