Since user defined standalone model objects are useless, this section describe the ways to connect parameters together. The designer can thus connect his own parameters with the parameters of the software, or connect the software parameters together.
You should note that the links are verified at compile time, when the skinning engine parses the skin file. This means that you will not encounter runtime errors if parameters identifiers are wrong, the skin will just not open.
Further more, the skin engine is able to resolve links even if the referenced objects have not yet been defined when the link is declared.
