# Annotate object links (beta) With the object linking feature you can annotate *relations* or *links* between objects in the scene. These links can also contain *link attributes*. This feature is in beta. Current limitations: * In 3D interfaces, links are only rendered for cuboids. The format of the link annotations in the exported label attributes is documented [here](https://docs.segments.ai/reference/label-types#links). ## Enable the object linking feature Navigate to the dataset settings and go to the "Labeling" section. At the bottom of the page, check the option "Use object linking". If the option is not present, it means that the dataset is not compatible yet (see limitations above). ## Configure link attributes Once the feature is activated, it's possible (but not required) to configure link attributes for each category. Note that a link has a direction, *from* one object *to* another one. The attributes that will appear when annotating a link from one object to another one are determined by the *from* category. Link attributes can also be configured [programmatically](https://docs.segments.ai/reference/categories-and-attributes#category).
