# GetLink

Retrieves a subdocument of a document that has been displayed with the View action, formats it as HTML, then returns the HTML for display.

## Example

    http://12.3.4.56:4000/action=GetLink&NoACI=True&LinkSpec=somedata

This action uses port `4000` to request a subdocument from IDOL View Server Component, which is situated on a machine with the IP address `12.3.4.56`. IDOL View Server Component resolves the `LinkSpec` and returns the subdocument.
