Deleting logical links is a bit weird

I was just messing around with logical links for the first time. (I had been playing with another product, PersonalBrain, which looks like a lot of fun and all, but lacks a lot of the database sophistication of UR.) Anyway, they make a very big deal of their network structure which, of course, UR provides using Logical Links.

I decided to try deleting Logical Links and the link indicators didn't go away. Then I looked at the parent panel for the items I unlinked and the Recycle Bin was in there - very confusing until I realized that the logical instances of the items I removed had been sent to the recycle bin.

I see what's happening but I have mixed feelings about the way this works. I wonder if you could have an option setting that prevents links through the Recycle Bin from being indicated in the node icon or shown in the Parent panel unless you actually focus on items in the Recycle Bin. The default for the option would be "Don't Show Them". As an experienced UR user, I naturally know that nothing is deleted without going through the Recycle Bin and having that little link indicator stick is quite misleading.
