I was wondering if in Autopsy, can a BlackboardArtifact have an attribute which links to another BlackboardArtifact.

When adding a BlackboardAttribute to a BlackboardArtifact, can the BlackboardAttribute’s type be set as a BlackboardArtifact type? This is so that in the Blackboard, when clicking on the Attribute, it would bring the user to the linked BlackboardArtifact.

You can use the TSK\_ASSOCIATED\_ARTIFACT attribute to link to another artifact. [Sleuth Kit Java Bindings (JNI): Standard Artifacts Catalog](http://sleuthkit.org/sleuthkit/docs/jni-docs/4.11.1//artifact_catalog_page.html)
