Stephen,
I couldn't disagree with you more.
In my view, UR's logical links are not links at all...they are clones. Clones are well-suited towards creating the cross-indexed hierarchical database you described, but this is a completely different concept from linking.
A hyperlink is a way of associating keywords, in-context, with related information that may be located in other topics. For example, suppose I was writing an article on New York restaurants. The article might mention many different restaurants, and it would be convenient for the reader to be able to click on the name of each restaurant and be taken to a page containing more detailed information on that restaurant. This hyperlink could either take the reader to the restaurant's website, or it could take him to another topic within UR containing information on that restaurant.
This is one of the advantages that MyInfo 3 offers over UR. MyInfo does provide cloning, but it also allows the user to create hyperlinks to other documents within the actual text of a document.
