Linking happens by looking up functions by name - therefore it seems the name should not just be metadata (I don’t think linking should rely on metadata)

I think this means that declare/alias_declare should hold names, and that these operations are only valid at module level.

I’d be happy with that. The alternative would be - the metadata may contain data that affects other tools (that operate on the Hugr), right? So we just have to say that the linker is an”other tool”….

Also, we will need some kind of namespacing on these names, right?
