        A link is a node that refers to another node.  The Link class inherits from

        like a regular Group or Leaf.  Contrarily to other nodes, links cannot have
        HDF5 attributes.  This is an HDF5 library limitation that might be solved
        in future releases.

        A soft link is a reference to another node in the *same* file hierarchy.
        Provided that the target node exists, its attributes and methods can be
        accessed directly from the softlink using the normal `.` syntax.

        Softlinks also have the following public methods/attributes:

            * `target`
            * `dereference()`
            * `copy()`
            * `move()`
            * `remove()`
            * `rename()`
            * `is_dangling()`

        Note that these will override any correspondingly named methods/attributes
        of the target node.

        For backwards compatibility, it is also possible to obtain the target node
        via the `__call__()` special method (this action is called *dereferencing*;
        see below)
