Alan,
If you search on "Insert Linked" in the Help, you'll find the page "How to use 'drag-and-drop' charting interface'.
That's the best and fullest explanation. I recommend you experiment until you understand it. Always after you put something in a Layout you can right click and choose 'Edit Formula' to see the actual formula, its path and its text. You'll be able to observe what I've described.
I have written a bit more about this in a multi-machine context here:
