I am always reluctant to share code, because there is so much to unpack, but let's try. First the user presses a button in the sheet that reads like this (T, NAC, SK, SPM, and WPN are codes that we use that are unique for each repeating section and are shorter way to refer to it that the whole repeating_xxx (so for example, an Attribute name could be repeating_talents_rOwId_T_Name)) value="!Earthdawn~ charID: @{character_id}~ Chatmenu: Link: T : @{T_RowID}" This sends a command to the API Paser (Chatmenu: Link: ) that is processed here case "link": { // chatmenu: Link: (code - T, NAC, SK, SPM, WPN): rowID // List all existing links for this rowID and ask if to be removed. And a button to add a link. let pre = Earthdawn.buildPre( ssa[ 2 ], ssa[ 3 ]); s = "Managing links for " + Earthdawn.codeToName( ssa[ 2 ] ) + " " + Earthdawn.getAttrBN( this.charID, pre + "Name", "") + ". " + Earthdawn.texttip( "(hover)", "Links are used to automatically integrate a value from another ability in the calculation of this ability.

" + "A Knack would be linked to the referenced Talent, so that the Knack rank automatically uses the Talent Rank. " + "Links can also be used to create combos between elements, such as Surprise Short Sword, " + "that could be linked with the Talent Surprise Strike and a Weapon Short Sword to get the total damage roll, " + "or Tiger Dance that could be linked to Talents Tiger Spring and Air Dance to roll the combination of the 2 Talents)"); addButtonWithCharID( "Add a Link", "ChatMenu: Linkadd1: " + ssa[ 2 ] + ": " + ssa[ 3 ] + ": ?{What are we linking this to|Talent,T|Discipline,DSP|Skill,SK|Weapon,WPN|Thread Item,TI|Attribute}: " + "?{Name to link to (Make sure substring is an exact match, including case.
