[Zope-CMF] Link type questions.

Hello again all,

I'm using the Link type to build some things.   I have located addLink
in Link.py and see the fields associated with them. Can I add some
fields as a manager without hacking Link.py? Because my ISP is running
Zope with other sites on it, changing default *.py source files is not
really an option as it could break other sites. Should I just create a
owner/manager-level Link type similar to the default Link type through
the Zope interface with my mods like the PortalPollClass example could
be created without changing CMF default source?  Is there another,
better way?

Next question is mixing and matching types: Link type with some added
fields in combination with a pre-defined poll  would work great for my
purposes.  Is there a 'right' (by design) way to combine types to create
a new type rather than me fumble them around?

Thanks,
