public class AnyToAny
extends BasicItem<AnyToAnyData>
implements Nameable

An any-to-any link is a named, directed link from one item to another item. The items can be of any type. Permission-wise the links belong to the start item. Ie. to be able create, update and delete links a user must have WRITE permission on the start item. The user must also have USE permission on the item we are linking to.

All any-to-any links from an item has a name which must be unique for that item.
