When using Publishing feature, how to link to a document in a document library?

Question

When using a Publishing site, users can link to an image stored in the Images library (that library having been created as part of using the Publishing template.)

I like the fact that the link is a pointer to the image, not just a copy of it, so if the image itself is changed the image will be updated in all places that have linked to it.

In a similar way, I also want users to be able to insert links to documents that are stored in the Documents library (ideally via the rich text editor.) I can't see how to do this though -- is it possible out-of-the-box?

Answer 1

This might seem a little simplistic but I am not clear on exactly what you want to achieve.

If you want to link to a document held in a Document Library then simply click on the hyperlink button on the toolbar of the Rich Text Editor. Select browse and then on the left hand side choose:

Current Site: Your Document Library

You can then select your document and this will create a link to that document in your page.

Let me know if this is not the question you are asking.
