Indeed, for HTL this would be a trivial change since the engine always knows the context in which it operates. However, keep in mind that this is a compile-time operation. If we want to transpose this information at run-time, I guess we could write a RuntimeFunction handling link outputs, that would in turn delegate to the new link rewriter. Cheers, Radu
