What I would like to see are:
    
    aVLink.Link2Records( leftTableRecID, rightTableRecID )

    aVLink2.LinkRecords ( leftTableRecID, rightTableRecID )
  
    FindLeftLink( rightRecID )
    FindRightLink( leftRecID )

A quick interim fix I will use with FindLinked in the mean time is the
equivalent of:

    const kGetLeftLink = EVRecursionDirection.kFromParentToChild
    const kGetRightLink = EVRecursionDirection.kFromChildToParent
