Linking to cells in a separate spreadsheet

I'm not talking about a different sheet within the same spreadsheet. I'm talking about two different spreadsheets. I'm trying to reference cells from one spreadsheet that contains data I need to put into the current spreadsheet. It's easy in Excel. But I can't figure out how to do this at all in Numbers. It seems only to allow you to create linked references in sheets within the same spreadsheet. Please help!

In Numbers you can only reference cells within the same document.


Unlike Excel, Numbers easily allows multiple tables on one sheet, so you might consider consolidating your work into one document.


An advantage of keeping your work self-contained in one document is that you don't have worry about links breaking should you move a document within the file system. And, of course, it works better cross-platform.
