Hyperlinks: Why two IDs for same person?

As my family-tree has grown quite complicated I have created hyperlinks to other pages.   However, when I opened the list of individuals in the Table View I saw that for all persons for which hyperlinks were created there are two different IDs.   Does it mean that Genopro treats that person as two different individuals?   How to avoid this?

GenoPro treats the two hyperlinked invidiuals as the same, except their x,y position and color on the display.  If you change the name of the individual, or other data such as the date of birth, you will see "both" individuals updated.  Hyperlinked individuals must have a different ID for technical reasons, as GenoPro uses the ID to connect the pedigree links to individuals.

Thank you.

It is also possible to have a different Display Name for each hyperlink, so you can display an individual differently on different Genomaps (eg unmarried and married name).
