## Functions

### `instructionLinkNode(name, program?)`

Helper function that creates an `InstructionLinkNode` object from the name of the `InstructionNode` we are referring to. If the instruction is from another program, the `program` parameter must be provided as either a `string` or a `ProgramLinkNode`.

```ts
const node = instructionLinkNode('myInstruction');
const nodeFromAnotherProgram = instructionLinkNode('myInstruction', 'myOtherProgram');
```
