Attach a file versus linked to a related item

This is FIENDISHLY clever.

I can't take the credit for that – it's an example scenario in the article linked below. 😁

you can only link to items in the SAME Vault

That's right – it keeps things easier. Imagine, for example, someone in the family looking at an item in the Shared vault and they saw a link to something but couldn't tell what it was because it was in your Private vault and they can't decrypt that. We know that an entire vault is always decrypted at the same time, so that "dead link" situation can't happen within the same vault.

There's more about how to link items here: Link related items in 1Password.

Linking items is one of those parts of 1Password where there's no single "right" way to do it but you can use it in whatever way makes sense to you. Happy to help with anything, so let me know how you get on. :)
