... that they link

Hello,

I'm wondering if I used "that" correctly in this sentence:

"People disapprove of those action that they link with harm."

By this sentence I want to say that if there is a connection between an action (or a behaviour) and any harm, people will disapprove of this action.

Thank you

"That" is used correctly however the sentence is rather confusing; I had to read it multiple times to actually comprehend it. You should try something like :
'People disapprove of actions that they believe to link with harm"

I see your point, Bangar, but "believing" lacks the strength of the transitive "that they link." I think it misses the mark.
The action of linking is important to the idea.
