We have direction (let's say left or right), but I thought we don't want to fix their meanings. E.g. I should be able to create "generalization" link either to the left or right from the curren cell, and the after that the link should be interpreted as "spesification" when going "backwards" to my creation direction.

If we fix left->right = specification and right->left = generalization, then it's not problem, but AFAIK we don't want to do it.

We could of course have two link types, for one of which left->right = specification and for the other right->left = specification.

BTW, we should probably think about posward/negward rather than left/right, and show them in reading direction. I.e., I suppose when viewing Arab/Hebrew/Japanese text, I'd want to see the 'incoming' links coming from the right and 'outgoing' links leaving to the left. (Unfortunately I cannot actually read any of the three, but... ;-) )
