#' Build a linker data frame: prompt option.
#'
#' \code{prompt_linker} this function will prompt the user for a variable
#' description and variable type to construct a data frame that will be an
#' intermediary between the original dataset and the data dictionary. This is a
#' variation of the first function used in this package. For the function to run,
#' the following parameters are needed.
#'
#' @param my.data Data.frame. The dataset for which the user is creating the
#' dictionary for.
#' @return If the original dataset supplied as my.data is of class data.frame;
#' the variable description items are in the same order as the orignal dataset's
#' variable names; and the variable_type intgeer vector values are 0 or 1,
#' then a small data frame is produced with variable_names, variable_description,
#' variable_type columns. This dataframe will serve as a linker daata frame to
#' be able to construct the data dictionary.
