RTF Hyperlink to a Component: Open Button

While setting up a hyperlink to a component inside of a RTF, the "open" button is grayed out if the hyperlink "Type" is "Component". The button works if a normal url is used instead of a component. Users would like to be able to view the component they have linked to without the need to search for it by TCMID.

  • Is the preference to open the Component in Form view or to "go" to its location in the Content Manager Explorer? And his would be the item in the context of the linking Component's Publication, right?

    For URL links, the open button will open the location in a new browser tab. Would the editor want to open the content on its rendered page.

    For now, I think the quickest work-arounds are either searching for that tcm URI as Jonathan mentioned or using the browse button and opening the item from the item select dialogue.
