It's not just links it lacks, it lacks any notion of dates or reasons (with the minor exception of Badges). The Scroll is terribly documented and several times I've tried to go back and even put a year on some of those titles and can't (in some cases, I can't narrow it down to within a few years even because we re-use win types.). The scroll says I won by Proposal (x2) but I couldn't even give you which decade these happened in. -G.
