Modify the origin of links [message #1058243]

Hi all

I was wondering if it is possible to make a link go to the parent of a node instead of the node itself?

The setup I have is as follows:
RootNode -> ObjectData -> Attribute

The Attribute have a reference link to existing attribute that it inherits data from and I was wondering if I could make this linking go to the parent node.
Why I ask this is because I am using Eugenia and have the data as a compartment and when I minimize the Attribute node the linking hides as well and I would like to be able to show the links even when I minimize the node, either by moving the link to the parent or just keep showing the link upon minimization.

So in short:
Can I make a link go from parent to target instead of child to target?
And/Or can I make a link from a child be visible even if I minimize the child?

(I asked this in the Eugenia thread but they thought it might be a bit low-level so they pointed me here Smile

)

Thanks for any help

Write you later / Mårten
