Quicklinks

This is an experimental / possible implementation for something that may or may not be useful in the future

An additional configuration layer in the site-wide config file that can define an ‘id’ and the path that that link should point to.

If you then write a link in the following format:

[Link text](@id)

The link should be transformed to point to a possibly different link.

There’s two ways I can think of to implement this:

1. Wanderer replaces all ids in quicklinks with the canonical link at build step
2. Create a redirect file at the quicklink location that redirects to the canonical link. (probably better maintainability at the cost of additional files)

Why?

Because I have a lot of projects, and I might want to reorganize the folder structure for them later. I don’t want my folder structure to fall over.

It turns out that this is unnecessary because you can just add ‘quicklinks’ by using template variables as usual:

[Link](${o.links.projects})
