Abstract
An interaction framework is based on user configurable view links, where a view link is created by dragging an icon from a source view, and dropping it onto a target view. When a user subsequently selects an object in the source view, its contents are expanded in the target view. View links enable such multi-view extensions as dynamic sources and dynamic targets, where a view link establishes a dynamic operation, in which a source and/or target relation is dynamically determined, e.g. by an active view.
