Abstract:
1. A computer readable storage medium including executable instructions which, when executed, associate information by: tracking interaction by a user with one or more potential link targets, wherein the one or more potential link targets are associated with a hierarchal information structure; populating a user interface of a display with a number of parameters associated with the one or more potential link targets as the user interacts with the one or more potential link targets, wherein the user interface is repopulated as the user interacts with different link targets; generating one or more paths to the one or more potential link targets, wherein the one or more paths are based in part on the one or more potential link targets; creating a link to a link target based in part on a user interaction associated with the one or more potential link targets, the link having link parameters including a link path and a friendly name, wherein the link path includes one of an absolute link path, a relative link path, and maximally relative link path and is based in part on the user interaction in creating the link, and the friendly name is automatically applied based in part on a link target name, the creating including one of pasting the link as is if the link is relative and specifies no base path, pasting the link and constructing the absolute link path if the link is relative and includes a base path, and pasting the link including attempting to maximally relativize the link and store the relative path if the link is absolute including adding the base path to relativize the link; and, storing the link parameters to memory.
