Links by shorthand

Add the Predecessors column with View, Columns, type A1020FS+2d into a cell and watch the bar move; or use Details, Predecessors, Add… to search for the activity and set the type and the lag. Both land in the same table.

If you know the IDs, a link is ten keystrokes: the predecessor, the type and the lag, typed into one cell.

View, Columns: double-click Predecessors to add it. Its cells hold each activity's links as text. Type A1020FS+2d and press Enter: after Pour footings, finish-to-start, two days later. The bar moves.

Or open Details, Predecessors, Add…: search for the activity, choose it, then set the type and the lag. Either way, the link lands in the same table: Pour footings, FS, a two-day lag.

That was shorthand. Next in the Guide: links by name, for anyone who would rather not learn the IDs.
