Describes the ability to make a virtual copy of part of one document, for inclusion in a second document. The original remains untouched, in place. The link between the source and target documents is maintained throughout further operations. Nelson sees this as a means to get around several problems, notably copyright and transcription errors:

[T]he customer is buying the fragments from the original author whenever those
quotations are read. So, nothing is misquoted, nothing is out of context, credit is
apportioned correctly, and royalties are apportioned correctly. ("On the Xanadu Project"
