hiding links using robots.txt

can I use other domain names than my own in robots.txt?

[Arjen]

Is it possible to hide a link from Google using robots.txt that is not just a sub-directory of my own site, but actually at another domain?

If my site is [redwidgets.com...]

can I use:

disallow: [bluewidgets.com...]

to avoid Google follow the link to this site?

Well for obvious reasons this will not work.

Disallow specifies a partial URL that is not to be visited. This can be a full path, or a partial path; any URL that starts with this value will not be retrieved.

Thanks Andreas

I did read through a couple of articles about robots.txt but could not find the answer.
