ABSTRACT:
A method and system are provided for managing digital documents by using links to allow navigation between documents and to create associations based on bridges between various combinations of document elements and software. Each bridge includes at least one coupling. Each coupling includes a target token identifier and a supplementary token identifier which allow software users to navigate between target and supplementary documents or to invoke supplementary software routines. Linked elements, such as text or graphics tokens, can overlap partially or entirely. Embedded links are allowed, but are not required.
