A typical wiring for [get link](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/files/file_get_link): [rename](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/files/file_rename) feeds the `file` pin; the `value` out pin feeds [execute in queue](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/function%20execution/function_custom_execute_from_queue).
