#### 8.9.12.1 Designating local-to-topic jumps and pop-ups

Normally, a term used as a reference string must be unique in each .hlp file; you can jump to a reference string from any place in the same .hlp file. However, there is a way to use the same reference string in every topic.

If you need to use a term that appears in many places in the .hlp file, but only once in each topic, you can assign property Local to a jump or pop-up format to produce a local reference string. For example, you might have a catalog in which each item is in a separate topic, but every item needs a link within its topic to its part number, price, and so on.

Assign property Local to both the hotspot format and its target format. For example:

[HelpStyles]

Specs=JumpTarget Local

JSpecs=JumpHot Local

Diagram=PopContent Local

PDiag=PopHot Local
