Clip items can be linked so that they can be selected and edited together. This allows
you to keep clip items that came from the same Browser clip together, such as a video
clip item and a stereo pair of audio clip items. When you select a linked clip item, all the
other linked clip items are selected as well (unless the Linked Selection button is
disabled). For more information about working with linked items, see Volume II,
Chapter 14, “Linking and Editing Video and Audio in Sync.”
