Object Links can also reference events such as Global Events and Manual Camera Events and actions such as Call a Preset. These events are generally associated with physical actions, such as opening a gate, triggering an alarm or triggering some automation procedure and the link provides quick and intuitive access to trigger this event.
Links to Events are always accessed via the Left Mouse Button Click shortcut.
In the following image, we have a link on a gate, referencing its opening. The purpose of this link is to open the gate.
When clicking on the link, the system will display a confirmation message for the execution of the associated event. You can suppress this message, and execute the event directly using the Shift + Click shortcut. The confirmation message will only be displayed for Event type objects. Actions such as Calling a Preset will be performed directly.
The figure below represents the execution of the event, effectively opening the gate.
