Softlinking

"Soft" links, generated spontaneously in real time, allow any word or group of words in any text to be used to seek for related information, e.g. a cultured species, a country, a disease, a glossary definition, a reference.

To softlink from a word or phrase, highlight the text by clicking and dragging your mouse over the word or phrase, or by double-clicking on a single word. Next, press the softlink button on the right of the Menu bar (where available). A results box will appear displaying any items your selected term relates to.

These may be datasheets, a glossary term or a drug database entry. To go to that item, click on a selection. Note that the results may include words that contain your selected word: for example, selecting maturity gives prematurity, postmaturity, etc.
