I would like to find out if at all possible at the moment to have a single link to be assigned to many categories but then / if deletion was required I could do that with a single click instead of deleting under each category.
What I am trying to do is using the very same links in multiple top categories and then be able to delete multiple occurences of the same link by a single delete....
When a link expires and I delete it from category it would still show in all other categories and takes long to go around and delete each copy of the same link. What I am after is a centralised management. One click and delete all identical links...

Hi Paul,
I would like to find out if at all possible at the moment to have a single link to be assigned to many categories but then / if deletion was required I could do that with a single click instead of deleting under each category.
Thanks,

Yes, when you delete a link the aliases are deleted from the secondary categories as well.

Would it matter if the same website was assigned to multiple root categories and not sub-categories as such?

Anything you click in the secondary categories box works the same.

You submit a link. You ensure the category you want it in is selected in the category field.
In the secondary categories field you select any other category you want it to appear in, holding down the control key to select multiple.
If you later edit or delete the link from the main category it will edit or delete it from ALL the secondary categories you have selected.
