CF_LINKSOURCE contains a stream saved by the moniker that represents the
link. This allows you to get back to the linked object.

CF_LINKSRCDESCRIPTOR contains OBJECTDESCRIPTOR structure. It's mainly a
recommendation of how you should display this link to the user - in
particular it contains a human-readable string describing the link.

You don't usually deal with these formats manually - you would use
OleCreateLinkFromData or OleUIPasteSpecial.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
