You guys are absolutely right. I'm so sorry for leading you in the wrong
direction. I'm an idiot. J I forgot that I hadn't fully implemented the Link
feature yet. I'm sorry about that. I think, though, that you should be able
to manually tweak the .wixproj file to make it work, although I haven't
actually tried it myself yet. Would somebody be willing to submit a feature
request for the "Add as Link" feature?
Thanks,
Justin

"Add as link" doesn't show up when you right click the project. You
right-click the project, pick "Add -> Existing item". A dialog box will
open where you can select the item to add and, the "Add" button in that
dialog box is a pulldown menu that includes "Add as link" and "Add".
yes, that what happens in a normal project (e.g. C#) However, the add button
in that dialog box doesn't have a pulldown in my wix project...

Can you, or anyone else for that matter, insert a link to another project,
as Justin described here:

There is no add as link option shown on my system when I right click the
project on my my system. Add shows "New Item" "Existing Item" and "Folder".
Am I looking in the wrong place?

So far, I've been using the Votive 3.0 build without any problems. I think
the only thing "unstable" about the build is that there could be breaking
changes in future releases that mean you'll have to change your code. Other
than the environment variable macros (being able to refer to project output)
not being in the 3.0 build, it seems to be much fuller featured than 2.0.
