+# FEP-e232: Object Links
+
+## Summary
+
+This document proposes a way to represent text-based links to [ActivityPub] objects which are similar to mentions. One example of such link is inline quote within the value of the `content` property, but this proposal is not limited to any particular use case.
+
+## Requirements
+
+The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC-2119].
+
+## Object links
+
+If object's content has links to other objects, that object MAY have the `tag` property, where each link is represented as a `Link` object, as suggested by [Activity Vocabulary]. The properties of this `Link` object are:
+
+- `type` (REQUIRED): the type MUST be `Link`.
+- `mediaType` (REQUIRED): the media type SHOULD be `application/activity+json`.
+- `href` (REQUIRED): the href property MUST contain the URI of the referenced object.
+- `name` (OPTIONAL): if link is a quote, its representation SHOULD have the `name` property whose value starts with `RE:`, followed by referenced object's URI.
+
+Example:
+
+```json
+{
+    "type": "Note",
+    "content: "This is a quote:<br>RE: https://example.com/objects/123",
+    "tag": [
+        {
+            "type": "Link",
+            "mediaType": "application/activity+json",
+            "href": "https://example.com/objects/123",
+            "name": "RE: https://example.com/objects/123"
+        }
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+## Implementations
+
+TBD
