The Link - Component Item Menu Item adds a link to a component that automatically reflects the parameters of the original component as defined in the "Component" Menu Item. The "Link - Component Item" is useful if you want a component to appear in more than one menus and just want to change the 'Details' parameters for that component while keeping the general parameters as defined in the Component Menu Item. One aspect is added to the 'Details' function : the possibility of opening the link in a certain type of window.
