A computer having a file management system and a plurality of objects is presented. The file management allows for the coordination the transfer of data between objects. A link with a view may be created between a child objects and a parent object as follows. A user specifies to the child object the data to be displayed. The user specifies to the parent object a location in which the data is to be displayed. The user causes the file management system to link the child object and the parent object, so that link data structure includes a reference name which identifies the link data structure, a reference to the child object, a reference to the parent object and a data identifier which identifies the data to be transferred. Upon request from the parent object, the child object displays the data in the location specified by the parent object. The request is made by the parent object by sending to the file management system the reference name, a location where the data is to be displayed and a request for the transfer of data. The parent object does not identify the child object or the data identifier. It is not necessary for the parent to know these. When the file management system receives the request from the parent object it sends a request for the transfer of the data to the child object. This request includes the location where the data is to be displayed and the data identifier. It does not include the reference name of the identification of the parent object. The child object then displays the data at the specified location. Alternatively, when the link is set up, the child object may set up a snapshot object. The snapshot takes over responsibility to display the data at the specified location. When the file management system receives the request from the parent object it sends a request for the transfer of the data to the snapshot rather than the child object. The snapshot then displays the data at the specified location.
