Do you mean you'd like to know what other resources (documents) on the Web contain LINKs with a destination equal to the specified URI? If so, what do you suggest as the scope of the search? Just the same server? A specified list of servers? All servers on the Web? If you mean that you'd like to retrieve the LINKs *stored with* the specified URI (and therefore whose destinations are other resources) this is much better defined, and within the scope of WEBDAV. I'd resist the temptation to turn WEBDAV into a general distributed database protocol :-) -Ralph
