The only problem I see are cyclical references, especially with Acquision. Could you imagine what would happen if Acquision was turned on with these things? It could be great fun and crashed servers ! :) Troy -----Original Message----- From: Andy McKay [mailto:andym@ActiveState.com] Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2001 11:57 AM To: tom smith; zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] feature suggestion (aliases) I saw one once that (I think) Shane Hathaway did.

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
