Is there any sort of equivalent to the Macintosh 'links'?   I think it's
neat how you can link a graph in a spreadsheet to a word processing document,
and have it automagically updated....

Perhaps using filelinks to a saved graph, updated by the spreadsheet and then
using file notification to tell the word processor if the file is changed while
it's running?

Does anyone know how the Mac does this?
