GetOrCreate(GraphNode, GraphNode)	Gets the link from the specified source to the specified target node. If not found, a new link will be created.

GetOrCreate(String, String, Int32)	Attempts to get the link with the specified source, target and multilink index If not found, a new link will be created.
GetOrCreate(GraphNodeId, GraphNodeId, Int32)	Attempts to get the link with the specified source, target and multi-link index. If not found, a new link will be created. It also creates the source and target Node if those are not already defined (and these are created with no category).
GetOrCreate(String, String, String, GraphCategory)	Attempts to get the link with the specified source, target. If not found, a new link will be created. It also adds the specified category if its not already defined. It also creates the source and target Node if those are not already defined (and these are created with no category).
