Could you explain that a bit more? The documentation for links says "You may think of the link as a special kind of tag that can be used to group together a set of financially related transactions over time". Except in this case there is no "group" of transactions; there would only be exactly one transaction with the link. Since there's no group, I guess it didn't naturally occur to me to use them for this. Are there any benefits to using a link instead of metadata?
