I want to join a (csv)table to a feature layer. I don't want to create a new joined layer, I just want to link the 2 datasets, so I only have to update the table.  

That's actually just like how the Join tool works in Pro.

Hi @ArjenvanHartingsveldt,

Have you had a look at the following resource: Join a table to a feature layer in ArcGIS Online | Documentation

I have seen that. It creates a new layer from the 2 datasets. What I want is the 2 datasets to be linked, instead of being merged into a new one. 

The thing is, I use a feature layer that is administrated by someone else. For a specific project I want  to link some of my data to it. This data is only relevant for my project, not for other use of that layer. When edits to the original layer are made, I don't want to have to make a new join. (Because I don't know when those edits are made)
