link not working in control file of PDFBinder

Question

Hello,
I am using java API of BI Publisher and need a bound PDF that may have the same document included in two places of the binder.
In such a case the document shall be merged only once and the both the entries of the document in Table of Contents shall point to the starting page of the document that was merged.
I planned to use a link in the control file to achieve this but am not able to find the link. Does anybody know if the link needs to be referred in a page template?
Below is my control file -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<outline xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/book/">
<title>Table of Contents</title>
  <!--
   The 'title-page' element should point to a PDF title page inserted
   at the beginning of the book. (OPTIONAL)
  -->
  <!-- So here is the title page reference, in this case it is going to use an RTF template -->
  <!-- <title-page type="rtf">C:/tmp/toc_rtf.rtf</title-page> -->
  <toc-template>C:/tmp/toc_rtf.rtf</toc-template>
    <start-page-number>1</start-page-number>
  <!-- next follow the three documents we want to combine -->
  <item id="1">
<title>Chapter 1</title>
<children>
<item id="odb">
<title>Customer Retrieval Entitlement</title>
<cover-page type="rtf">C:/tmp/chapter_cover.rtf</cover-page>
<pagenum-template type="rtf">C:/tmp/pagenum.rtf</pagenum-template>

Please advice at the earliest.

Hello,
I checked your site and found that there is some component that is overlapping the featured news section (for the link that says "life size barbie dreamhouses to open..."), and hence you are not able to click on the link. This component may be an empty textframe, rectangle etc. or the frame for another component being too large.
Please go to the design mode in Muse for this page and locate this component, and remove or resize it accordingly, after which the link would become clickable.
You may open the page in design mode and "select all" for ease of locating it.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
