Would View be a subset of Link, meaning if you have Link, you wouldn't
need View? If that's the case, would the advantage with View (other
than being a little bit cheaper than Link:) be just that it has a
smaller footprint than Link? If memory use and performance is not
much different between the two, then I think it may just cause
confusion having the two versions available. If there is quite a
difference however, then View would have its place.
