[rt-users] Collecting info from child tickets (scrip action)

[Thomas Sibley]

Links have a target and a base (a destination and source), and therefore
can be expressed in two directions.  RefersTo is the inverse of
ReferredToBy, and vice versa.  In the database, links are stored in as
canonical types and directionality is determined by which object is the
target and which is the base.  In the API, directionality and
base/target combinations are exposed through the methods you found.

You're ending up with the same ticket you started with because you're
looking at the wrong end of the link.
