When this node receives a message, it is passed to the connected target link in node.

It then waits for a response which it then sends on.

If no response is received within the configured timeout, default 30 seconds, the node will log an error that can be caught using the catch node.

If there is a link in node with target name, it will be called
If there are two or more link in nodes with the same target name, an error will be raised
The link call cannot call a target link in node inside a subflow
