Abstract: Nagel and R"omer introduced the class of weakly vertex decomposable simplicial complexes, which include matroid, shifted, and Gorenstein complexes as well as vertex decomposable complexes. They proved that the Stanley-Reisner ideal of every weakly vertex decomposable simplicial complex is Gorenstein linked to an ideal of indeterminates via a sequence of basic double links. In this paper, we explore basic double links between squarefree monomial ideals beyond the weakly vertex decomposable setting. Our first contribution is a structural result about certain basic double links which involve an edge ideal. Specifically, suppose $I(G)$ is the edge ideal of a graph $G$. When $I(G)$ is a basic double link of a monomial ideal $B$ on an arbitrary homogeneous ideal $A$, we give a generating set for $B$ in terms of $G$ and show that this basic double link must be of degree $1$. Our second focus is on examples from the literature of simplicial complexes known to be Cohen-Macaulay but not weakly vertex decomposable. We show that these examples are not basic double links of any other squarefree monomial ideals.
