There's a small problem of timing with this - the autothread create needs to know the linkid of the new entry, so the plugin is triggered after the contents of the linkbit have already been stored in the database. We can work round this, at the cost of another database access, but it should be possible. Bear in mind that these actions are 'once and for all' - if someone subsequently deletes an entry in LDM, the autothread is not removed - so too if we provide a connection in the linkbit to the thread, that connection will 'break' if the thread gets deleted.

I'll take a look - this is a good idea which I had never got round to.
