A ContentLink is a mirror of another content. It propagates most of the fields of the referenced content. This content type is useful when you want to display a content somewhere else in the content tree but want to manage changes in a single place, so a copy would not be sufficient.

Features

• Any content can be a reference regardless of its type.
• The link shows the attributes of the set reference.
• Editing or deleting the link does not affect the reference content.
