Linkto for db links / Accessing properties of series object

[Victoria]

Hi,
I am trying to update a set of links in a program. The links are database links and I need to change the name specification of the database the links are linked to. In order to do this, I need to access and alter the information stored in the object under properties --> Values --> database link: "source_db::source_object".

According to the documentation {%link}.linkto {%linktonew} should achieve this, but the command only seems to work for within-workfile links and not for database links.

I'm reasonably confident that you cannot do that in a program. The Link and Linkto commands are, as you point out, only for page links.
