Cosmo Create allows you to create two different types of links: standard and generated. A generated link is one in which a command is used to generate the link, rather than typing in a URL directly. For example, if you have a command that generates secure links to commerce servers, use the Cosmo Create generated link utility.
To create a generated link:
In addition to creating the generated link, Cosmo Create also attaches the Link Generation Command to the link with the SGI_URL_CMD attribute. For example, if you used program smith to create a generated link to www.sgi.com, your HTML would look like this:
<A HREF="http://www.sgi.com/[smith output]" SGI_URL_CMD="smith">
Browsers will ignore this attribute, but if you don't want it attached when you create your generated links, you can turn off this by deselecting the "Write SGI-specific HTML attributes" in the General Preferences panel (choose File > Preferences). It is not recommended that you do this, but instead use the packager to strip all Silicon Graphics-specific attributes.
See the Link Dialog reference card for additional details.
