Linkage Using Array Item?

[Karman, Al]

Try :
Creating a subfile, indexed on your array item, and recreating your original
subfile with the link item indexed.  You can then create your linkage.

BTW, what, exactly is the desired outcome of this when everything is just
exactly perfect?

PowerHouse can only link to items which are keys. And Image will not allow
you to use an array (or individual occurrences of an array)as a key.

Back to the drawing board.
