Link Modifier

Link Modifier

add operations between source and target from a link



In the previous chapters, we discovered the power of Links in your composition. We also discovered that link targets are used a lot in Smode (in cues, exposed parameters, local links and links with hardware devices). Since the targets can always contain Link Modifiers and Link Conditions, what you'll learn in this topic applies to a lot of scenarios.
