Deep links reference properties in referenced documents.
Properties in documents can be referenced. In a select clause specifying "Name, Short Description" selects the Name and Short Description property. If a property value is a link, a special syntax allows to fetch a property from the referenced document. The syntax for a deep link is '->'.
Deep links may also be specified in templates (for instance using the Display Document Properties Macro) and in where clauses (for instance using the Display Table Macro).
Deep Links for Select Clauses
Use Deep Link to select a property from a referenced document in the Select Clause.
The table header can be replaced using the Header Translations parameter by most macros

Deep Links for Where Clauses
Since version 2.0 of the projectdoc Toolbox Deep Links are supported for property references (on the right side) as an experimental features.
Note that you cannot use deep links on the left side of the where clause without Materialization. Since version 4.5 this is supported by property control mat, by space property Materialize by Doctype, or by Doctype Descriptor. Materialization is also possible in prior versions of the projectdoc Toolbox with a little more verbose approach. Read Materialize Properties for more information on this.
