1. A file management system that manages a data file including a character string, the file management system comprising:
a processor which when executing software configures the processor to:
determine a type of a target indicated by the character string in accordance with a character type determination rule describing a rule for determining the type of the target based on the character string;
compare a first character string included in a first data file with a second character string included in a second data file;
acquire a link rule describing a rule for setting a link between the data files; and
set a link between the first character string and the second data file in accordance with the link rule, wherein
the link rule defines a link between the second data file and a type of a target indicated by the first character string, and
the processor is further configured to:
specify the second data file as a link destination data file of the first character string in accordance with the link rule;
determine, by comparing a type of a target indicated by the second character string in the specified second data file with the type of the target indicated by the first character string, whether the target indicated by the first character string matches the target indicated by the second character string; and
assign a link between the first character string and the second data file when the processor determines that the target indicated by the first character string matches the target indicated by the second character string.
