public class RepositoryLinkPropertyDescriptor
extends RepositoryPropertyDescriptor

A property descriptor which describes a property of a RepositoryItem which points to another RepsositoryItem in another Repository. Unlike the GSA's Repository-linking feature, this property searches the Repository that's pointed to for an item with a particular unique Id. The property that acts as a unique Id is specified in this descriptor's configuration.
