Look for a file called "AcMapAtm.chm" in your ...Map\Help\ folder. It
documents the VB/VBA object model for Map - I don't know if the functions
you're looking for are exposed, however.

These functions are not exposed through an API. You can however try and call
them with the SendCommand method. This method is a bit funky and may not
work well if called from the middle of a macro. If you run into problems try
calling it right at the end of the code. Find out the exact sequence of the
command line for ADEGENLINK. I believe browselink has no arguments.

That stated, you can also use Microsoft's database API: ADO to access the
contents of a database, the dbConnect API: CAO to access database links in
AutoCAD and VB/VBA to create your own version of the functions.

Cheers,
Will
