I suspect lots of my initial confusion comes from the word
latestwhich is something quite specific in the date / time space. I saw it as a specific keyword that was not listed in the possible values, whereas it is, in the example above, just a random string.
True. If you can think of a better adjective for use in the example, I’ll amend it.

Let me sleep over it, I’ll try to think something. It is late now.

And, yes, from 4.8.0 jakob is right that
<txp:article_custom>will be able to read in URL variables directly so you can do crazy filtering via custom field values or whatever. A boon for sites that offer browsing via article CFs (e.g. an estate agency site that reveals front-end select lists for number of rooms, location, property type, etc). Just add those params to the query payload and you can pass them straight through to<txp:article_custom>.
You can even alias them via match="cf_name=url_name" attribute, for extra flexibility.

I publish a new article every week and all of them belong to the same section. I need a single URL that always points to the last published individual article in that section. Any hint? Thanks.
A bit more 4.7-ish: in Advanced options create a html custom form type with mediatype="text/html". Then create a latest form of html type:
<txp:article limit="1">
<txp:header name="Location" value='<txp:permlink />' />
</txp:article>Now each hit of /section/?f=latest URL should 302-redirect you to the latest article.

How about “most-recent” ? More string like while still saying latest, and for an international audience still has an easy reference point.

I’ve updated the example to use ‘most-recent’ and added Oleg’s example for completeness. Not sure it’s quite the right place for it in the tag doc, as it’s really showing off a shortcode, but we can move it if necessary when we decide what to do with the shortcodes doc.
