  A link field is a type of field in the SAP River component that allows users to link two different objects together. It is used to create relationships between objects, such as linking a customer to an order or linking a product to a supplier. Link fields are used to store the relationship between two objects and can be used to quickly access related information. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Link fields can be created in the SAP River component by selecting the “Link Field” option from the “Fields” tab. Once created, the link field can be used to link two objects together. To do this, simply select the object you want to link from the list of available objects and then select the object you want to link it to. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a link field, it is important to make sure that the two objects you are linking are compatible. For example, if you are linking a customer to an order, make sure that both objects have the same data type (e.g., both are strings).
