Links are electronic connections between one online element and another. With IPF, the user can be linked from one window to another by means of selectable text and graphic areas that the author defines. The user also can be linked to information in another IPF database.

Different types of links support document designs and information retrievability in various ways:

Hypertext Links

Selectable words or phrases that connect related information.
Hypergraphic Links
Selectable graphics that connect related information.
Automatic Links
Links that begin a chain reaction at the primary window. When the user selects the primary window, an automatic link is activated to display secondary windows.
External Links
Links that connect external online document files.
