What's linked to me?

Is there a way to find out what's linked to a thing? For example, would there be a way to find all skills linked to the Strength attribute? or to get values from them?

In this particular situation, There's a dynamic table for picking Starting Careers. They bootstrap the actual Career, do a bunch of Starting Career stuff, then link the Starting Career to the actual Career.

But I need to get some field values off the Starting Career thing for the Career portal. I don't want them to be editable, but I do want to show the choices made on the Starting Career.
 
Isn't the starting career the pick the user actually added to that portal? If so, you can just grab the data from it.

If you mean you want to display data from the bootstrapped pick, rather than the pick the user chose, I'd recommend adding some new fields to the component that the user chooses from, and component scripts to the bootstrapped picks that use the linkage to place their information into the fields you've set up on the thing that gets picked.
 
sorry, confusing on my party - 2 portals. Starting Career (shows Starting Career things) and Careers (shows Career things). At creation, Careers is hidden and Starting Career is displayed. On advancement, the opposite.

And when that happens, I want to grab some picks that went along with the starting career and put them as text fields on the career row so that the use will know "When I picked Alchemist to start, I choose Hand Weapon as my starting military skill" But the array and values for that choice are on the Starting Career, not the Career object.
 
There's no need to follow the link backwards - put fields on the pick that the linkage travels to, and then follow the linkage in the normal direction and use a script to fill in those fields. Then, display the contents of those fields.
 
yup, that's what I ended up doing. I put a field on the Career to store the value and then push it from the Starting Career in an eval script that's doing some other stuff.

Code: 
linkage[career].field[caSelect1].text = "Selection: " & field[usrSelect1].text
