The idea is that instead of doing something like this:

$link.setPage("myPage.wm").setAction("fooAction")

you do something like this:

$link.find ("myGlossaryLink")

thus the result is:

myGlossaryLink == myPage.wm + fooAction

But, the fooAction is associated with myGlossaryLink through another layer
that is a finite state machine layer that says that pageX, pageY and pageZ
are all supposed to have fooAction associated with them.

the idea is to remove the hard coding of actions to things.
