Subject: [LM] LinkMaster 0.2.0

LinkMaster 0.2.0 is now available on the web site. This version
includes a history tracking function (use ThoughtStream 0.2.0 to try it
out), and a proxy Datebook app to let you link to appointments in the
standard Datebook, DateBk3, or ActionNames.
Future plans: Proxies for the rest of the standard apps and a hack that
lets you use the history functions through stylus gestures (e.g.
Calculator to Applications for back)
Discussion topic: Currently, whenever you go back or forward, the
current application is always closed and the new one started. This is
inefficient for moving around within a single app. I propose that apps
may accept the FollowLink launch code as a sublaunch, much like the
current GoTo launch code. As this complicates code, it would be
optional; apps that support it would include an additional code in the
Link0001 resource.
Any comments?
