This node type is optional.

The nt:linkedFile node type is similar to nt:file, except that the content node is not stored directly as a child node, but rather is specified by a REFERENCE property. In other words the content node can reside anywhere in the repository. In addition, because of the extra level of indirection, the same content node can be referenced by multiple nt:linkedFile nodes. This feature can be used, for example, to present multiple orthogonal hierarchical views of the same content.
