Scriptwright	A better alternative (IMHO): edit the link types and put appropriate digits in front of Name, eg: Name Outward Description Inward Description Operations 0Related relates to related to Edit \| Delete 2Duplicate duplicates is duplicated by Edit \| Delete 3Dependency depends on blocks Edit \| Delete 9Cloners cloned to cloned from Edit \| Delete

That wouldn't really solve the problem of forgetting to change it. I was just thinking the other day that a more intuitive solution would be to add a null item that it selects by default and won't let you submit while that one is selected.
