// .NAME vtkSelectionLink - An algorithm for linking selections among objects
// .SECTION Description
// vtkSelectionLink is a simple source filter which outputs the selection
// object stored internally.  Multiple objects may share
// the same selection link filter and connect it to an internal pipeline so
// that if one object changes the selection, it will be pulled into all
// the other objects when their pipelines update.
