Link Placeholders

Use Type = entity-link-token when a row should insert an automatic link instead of a manually pasted URL.

Purpose

  • Show compatible entity links without asking editors to type URLs into the row text.
  • Keep link text and link target consistent.

Required Columns

ColumnWhat it means
Placeholder KeyThe key used in templates, without braces.
TypeMust be entity-link-token.
Display TextThe visible link text.
Entity TypeWhich table to use for the link target.

Supported Entity Types

  • cable
  • terminal-board
  • documentation

Example Keys

  • cable-link-token
  • terminal-board-link-token
  • documentation-link-token

Example Template

See the compatible {{cable-link-token}} for details.

How It Works

The system uses the compatible entity record linked through Common Specs and follows that record's Page Slug as the destination.

warning

If Entity Type is wrong, the link can point to the wrong table or fail to resolve.
