Force Link With Editor to be activated by default in Eclipse RCP

Question

I am trying to get the Eclipse force activate Link With Editor option by default . The solution doesn't necessarily need to be programmatically , but it would be good. So , I could use an .epf setting too or any other option.

Till now , I found this link : "link with editor" for FormEditor

As far as I know, there is no preference for this setting which is persisted in <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi (as <sharedElements ... elementId="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ProjectExplorer" ...> ... <persistedState key="memento" value="...CommonNavigator.LINKING_ENABLED=&quot;0&quot;..."/> or ...="1"..."/> ).

Programmatically, the linking enablement can be set in the class org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.ProjectExplorer via the method setLinkingEnabled .
