A link is a special type of symbol used to
connect two standard symbols. You can customize the shape, color,
visibility, orientation, and associated text and pop-up menus for
labeled links. For less sophisticated links, such as the Simple
Link or the Colored Link, you can change a limited number of these
parameters.
