31   * Embedded links will start a new conversation context.
32   * <p>
33   * Use this as the ancestor of any clickable links that should cause the new page to
34   * run within a totally new set of conversations. This really only makes sense when
35   * those links cause a new window to open. That new window then acts completely
36   * independently of the original window (as long as data is stored in conversations,
37   * not directly in the http session).
38   * <p>
39   * Normally, all urls within a view are rendered with a query parameter holding the
40   * current conversation context id, causing a later request to that url to use the
41   * same context as was used to render the original page. This tag causes this special
42   * query parameter to be omitted for all urls output by nested components. When any
43   * such url is invoked, the missing conversation context id then causes a new
44   * conversation context to be created.
