Making a link often entails request level parameters, this is why event.linkTo makes a single link at a time.

I do like the copyToScope(), but it should go a step further and do a link at the same time, or with a different function. Oh well, I came up with this in the meantime, <cfparam name="Attributes.e" type="string" /> <cfparam name="Attributes.variable" type="string" default="#Attributes.e#" /> <cfparam name="Attributes.state" type="struct" default="#CALLER.viewState#" /> <cfif thisTag.ExecutionMode is 'start'> <cfset myself = Attributes.state.GetValue('myself')> <cfset event = Attributes.state.GetValue(Attributes.e)> <cfset CALLER["#Attributes.variable#"] = myself & event> </cfif> So a <cf_myself e="xe.register"> will create a variable xe.register that points to the page. I like the optional list of copyToScope, so I'll modify it so I can do <cf_myself e="xe.reset,xe.delete,xe.ignore,xe.unignore"> and get the same results for each.
