Peter, Thank you. I was trying to figure out the C++ API for softlinking. I am currently using the api below to link
H5Lcreate_soft(meshSpElementDataSetPath.str().c_str(), file.getId(), plyElemSetPath.str().c_str(), H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT); When I view the created h5 file, I get the same softlinked behaviour I want. It seems curious that there is no C++ API for this.

It doesn't link the way I would like it to. Any help, examples would be most useful.
