 As this is a very simplified documentation, we may retreat to the following statement: while 'primitive' values - like [[string|strings]], [[single|singles]] etc. - contain only one value, objects are more complex. A very basic example is given in the [[macros:types|overview on types]]: imagine an address which is composed maybe of a street name, a number, a zip code, and a city - then the whole thing is the address object, and the individual values are the properties of this object.
-In the context of Titan macros, you'll most likely see objects like [[handle|handles]], [[timestamp|timestamps]], and maybe some more. While by their nature they fall under the general class 'objects', they are that frequently used - and thus that important for us - that we explain them as separate types (which is how they are treated in most funtions' description, too).
+In the context of Titan macros, you'll most likely see objects like [[..:identifier:handle|handles]], [[.object:timestamp|timestamps]], and some more. They are explained in more detail in separate articles - see the indivitual link further down.
 Also, there seems to happen implicit parsing/conversion. E.g. the function [[macros:function:math.min]] expects two objects as input - but in the example [[macros:example:doublechasespeed]] it also works with a number like 3600.0:

+However the most important object type in Titan is more in-depth explained as [[macros:identifier:handle]].
