An interaction framework is based on user configurable view links, where a view link is created by dragging an icon from a source view, and dropping it onto a target view. When a user subsequently selects an object in the source view, its contents are expanded in the target view. View links enable such multi-view extensions as link filters, in which functions are provided which can create dynamic linked content.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method for user configurable view management, comprising the steps of:said user uniquely defining, creating, and dynamically establishing a view link which defines a previously nonexistent relationship between a source view to a target view on a display;providing said user with a choice of one or more link filters, which comprise functions that generate dynamic linked content by executing a filter function that either transforms or interprets data transferred from said source view to said target view that is associated therewith by said view link;selecting one or more of said link filters; andestablishing a persistent relationship between two or more contexts with said selected link filters.
