What is object link in SAP PM - Plant Maintenance?

SAP Term: object link

An object link can only consist of objects in the same object category, that is, a piece of equipment can only be linked with another piece of equipment and a functional location with another functional location. If the object that forms the connection is managed in the system as a piece of equipment or a functional location, then two pieces of equipment can only be linked by a piece of equipment and two functional locations by a functional location.
