Abstract
A method and system to create dynamic associations or links between objects. The associations or links can be created by a linkify engine that creates the links by processing a document. The linkify engine can maintain and/or access at least one database or other memory component capable of storing data from which the associations can be formed. The linkify engine can also utilize configuration data to assist in determining associations. Objects in the document that can be linked by the linkify engine can include a word, group of words, number or group of numbers, image, icon, picture, or other object in a document. The document objects can be associated or linked to document objects in other documents, or to applications, images, icons, pictures, or other textual and non-textual objects that may not be associated with a document. In one embodiment, the association between objects can be represented as a hypertext link. Upon link activation, data from the associated objects can be retrieved and/or a process can be activated.
