[austechwriter] Re: Links and attachments

I normally stick with std parent / child relationships. Parents always know
their children. Children may not always know their parents. This doesn't
seem fully aplicable here.

The button associates another module with the current instance. The
secondary module may reference the primary module after the association is
made. Is that what you are after?

OK all you terminology gurus!
I need help to come up with a creative set of terminology to describe how
one module links to another in an object related database.

We currently use the word Attachment.  The first module attaches to another
module via a button in an attachment field.  However, our customers seem to
find this concept difficult to understand.

We tried using the words links and linking but this seems to confuse people
because it does not define in what direction the linking is.
If the first module links/attaches/connects to a record in a target module.
The record in the target module  ??? back to the ??? module.  If we use
links/attaches in both cases it is confusing to our customers.
