 This section present the explorers. Explorers are panels based on [[:04_developer_documentation:03_platform_development:01_registry:01_item:50_resourcedirectory|resource directories]]. They display the content of the directory in a tree shape (usually a flat tree).
-Explorer that manages files (source file, images, ...) usually have 3 possibilities to add a file:
+Many explorer have a "reference" method to get the object from the rgg code.
-  * Add the file: The selected file is copied into an objects folder within the GSZ or the project directory. This ensures that the file becomes part of the project and remains available even if the project is moved to a different location.
-  * Link the file: Only the file path is stored, which is useful for workflows where the file is maintained or updated externally—such as by another software tool or project. This method depends on the continued availability of the external file at its original path.
-  * Embed the file: The file is read and its content is directly added to the internal meta graph of the GroIMP project. This approach makes the object independent of its original format or location. However, embedding large files may impact simulation performance.
