CS3 Stupid Question (PSD)

In Photoshop CS1 it was possible to link two layers together even if there were other layers in between them. In Photoshop CS3, unless I'm being a nob, it doesn't seem to be possible to link layers (now called 'grouping') unless I can select them both exclusively, and I can't do that unless they are next to each other in the layers palette.
Any ways around this? Its a pain in the arse.

i find if the 'auto select layer' thing as part of the arrow tool is useful... click on the two things while holding down command and then link them
- Thats an interesting thing I didn't know so thanks, but its not the answer to my problem. I'll repost below.Horp

click one layer ... cmd (mac) ctrl (pc) click the other layer(s) then click the Link Layers button at the bottom left of the layers palette.

Okay, let me try and re-state my problem.
In CS1 PSD, I have become used to selecting layers in the layers palette and linking them. So if I had a document with 50 layers, I could select layer 13, layer 25 and layer 48 and I could link them all and move them all in synch with each other, but I could do this whilst leaving them in their respective positions within my layer stack.Now, if I select layer 13 and attempt to select layer 25... I also have to select all the intermediary layers. They only way I seem to be able to select certain layers to group them is by getting them all next to each other in my layers palette which I don't want to do.
Any ideas?
