My reply to this seems to be lost so at the risk of repeating myself:

The thing that concerns me about two scrips is, what if you
want to send an e-mail on AddLink, but you only want to do
it once. How do you make the two scrips aware of each other
so that only one performs the action? If there is a simple
solution to this problem, then 2 scrips is fine wiht me.
Otherwise I think it's better to have one scrip run and
the user and figure out what object was at the other end.
