It is not uncommon for crystallization enhancers to be found on a special position in the crystal. In addition, cross-linking the molecules in a crystal is often done for various reasons. In both cases, the model contains chemical bonds to a molecule or atoms in another asymmetric unit of the crystal. In order for the stereochemistry of these links to be properly restrained, it must be possible to describe such a link to the refinement program.
