Another task TODO for Binary Links.
Good point Frank.

Well, when I will write docs for binary Link in the nearest time,
I will consider this tasks on high level.

BinaryLink this is NOT a table, and NOT a field.
So you cannot create cursor for it.


ObjectPtr was easy put on SQL model, because this is a field.
BinaryLink -- this is pure link. So we need invent way and implement it for
each operation... 

If you or somebody have any ideas about BinaryLinks please tell us.
