Can I use single entries from the 'links' repository in articles?

Hi there,

Just about to start moving my (rather large) static site into textpattern to make for easier editing/updating etc, but am struggling to find an solution to a pretty simple problem, as follows…

The links section in the admin control panel seems like a good place to store the most frequently used internal links of the site so I can have global control over them; as this is a corporate website whenever a product is mentioned in an article then it needs to link to it’s relevant product page (I currently have all these links as HTML clips in Coda).

I have had a scour of the textpattern docs and although this links repository seems to be useful for calling lists of links, there does not seem to be any way to embed a single link from the repository into an article?

Is there a way of doing that?

Thanks in advance,
Phil

Thanks for that, the above mentioned plugin along with also the wet_link plugin from the same author seems to be the perfect answer to all my linkage needs.
