Why do you insist on proposing utterly silly claims like that?

Just think for a microsecond (to not exceed your attention span) about it:
Who started this "linking different works"? The computer? The apps 
themselves? Some strange alpha particle flitting through RAM?

Or could it have been a human being instructing the computer to do it?

There goes your "automated process that cannot add creation"
