ABSTRACT:
A technique for navigating between a first and second object in an object-oriented computer system, including a processor with an attached storage and a display uses reference objects to insert references from one object into another. A first document is loaded into the storage and presented on the display. Then, a selection object is created and associated with a selected part of the first document on the display. A reference object is then created and associated with the first selection object in the storage. Then, a second document is loaded into the storage and presented on the display and the reference object is inserted into in the second document. Finally, navigation is enabled via the reference in the second document to the first selection in the first document. Commands can also be performed via a reference on a remote object as if the object resided locally.
