// Creates a link between two properties. Can create M->N links.
// At the time when the link is created every output property is synchornized

  // Description:
  // Add a property to the link. updateDir determines whether a property of
  // the proxy is read or written. When a property of an input proxy
  // changes, it's value is pushed to all other output proxies in the link.
  // A propterty can be set to be both input and output by adding 2 link, one
  // to INPUT and the other to OUTPUT
  // When a link is added, all output property values are
  // synchronized with that of the input.

  // Description:
  // Another API to add a property link. In this case. we don't provide
  // the link with the proxy to which the property belongs. Consequently
  // we cannot propagate UpdateVTKObjects() calls irrespective
  // of the PropagateUpdateVTKObjects flag. If one wants to propagate 
  // UpdateVTKObjects, use the overload with vtkSMProxy as the argument.
  // When a link is added, all output property values are
  // synchronized with that of the input.
