Supported link table

The ryc_supported_link table defines the supported SmartLinks for the various types of SmartObjects, and it identifies whether the link can be a Source, Target, or both. User-defined links should not be set up in this table. The framework uses this table to return the valid links, both system and user-defined, when developers link objects on containers. It is merely a developer aid. Not all types of SmartObjects support links, in which case there will be no entries in this table for them. Because this table acts as a kind of cross-reference table between ryc_smartlink_type and ryc_smartlink, it holds, in addition to its own object ID field, the object IDs of the object type for which a link is supported, and the object ID of the smartlink_type record where the link is defined. The table has these other fields:

link_source — If this LOGICAL field is set to YES, objects of this SmartObject type are capable of acting as the Source for the specified link.
link_target — If this LOGICAL field is set to YES, objects of this SmartObject type are capable of acting as the Target for the specified link.
deactivated_link_on_hide — If this LOGICAL field is set to YES, this link for this type of SmartObject is automatically deactivated when the object is hidden and activated again when the object is viewed.
