public interface ILinkHelper
Provides information to the Common Navigator on how to link selections with active editors and vice versa.
The Common Navigator allows clients to plug-in their own custom logic for linking selections from the Viewer to active editors. This interface is used by the org.eclipse.ui.navigator.linkHelper extension point to gather information and trigger editor activations.
EXPERIMENTAL. This class or interface has been added as part of a work in progress. There is a guarantee neither that this API will work nor that it will remain the same. Please do not use this API without consulting with the Platform/UI team.
Clients may implement this interface.
