When you access a linked item, it is just as though you are accessing the item from its original location. For example, when you check out a linked item, the original item is checked out. When you copy a linked item, the original item is copied.

To link an item to another location:

Repeat the above steps if you want to add items from other locations to the clipboard for linking.
To view the clipboard, select either View clipboard or Edit>View Clipboard. You should view your clipboard before linking items to make sure the clipboard contains only those items you want to link.
Note: If an item does not appear on the clipboard, make sure you have set your view filters to display the item.
