Allow "Output this field as link" to link to the Content Item

Hello. If there's a way to do this, I'm totally clueless to it, so this is may be a Feature Request rather than a support request.

We have a content type that requires both a Title field and a Feature Title field. This is due to the fact that we have a requirement to have a different title on the News section of the home page than the actual title of the content. This News section is a view with just the Feature Title text field listed and I need those to link to those news items. Text fields do not have the check-box which gives the option to link back to the content so I am forced to try and use "Rewrite Results".

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get the Feature Title text field to link to the content itself. I notice that under Configure field > Rewrite results > Output this field as link you can define a link, but the list of replacement patterns is very slim. When I try to put [path], it renders as %5Bpath%5D.

It says "if you need a field not listed here, rearrange your fields". What the heck does that mean? I've moved this field up and down in the list and it doesn't give me any new replacement options.
