All Implemented Interfaces:

ConfigurationElement, ConfigurationFile, java.lang.Cloneable
```
public class FolderLink
extends AbstractConfigurationElement
```
The FolderLink element defines a shortcut to a folder (in the metadata) that is used by a folder browser or editor associated with the context. The folder is associated either by id (the object-id for the folder from the metadata) or by sys-folder-id (a value from the EnumDSSXMLFolderNames enumeration which lists all the system folders of a metadata).
