Couple Topic with File

• In the Relationships screen of the topic with which the file is coupled, the link is shown as a relationship in the With What relationship category. 

  By double-clicking the relationship, the file can be opened. 

  Files are distinguished by the value External Files in the From column and the lack of the addition file:// in the Name column (the addition is only available for coupled files of the type Network File).
