Link management
I'm new to drupal, and feel like I'm missing something about links. I've tried numerous searches, but not had any success.
I imagine that there ought to be a way of doing links to other content on a drupal site without using a full URL, e.g. something like:
[link: reviews/books (Book reviews)] rather than
<a href="/?q=reviews/books">Book reviews</a>The reason I'd like to do this is that I'm currently running a test installation on a site with no url rewrite support, and when I move it, I don't want to have to change all my links.
More generally, is there any form of a link manager in drupal? E.g. I am composing a story, and all the possible nodes available on that drupal site are available in a hiearachical form so that they can be inserted into the article without having to go to the node in question (possibly using javascript). And it would be nice if links could be kept track of so that, for example, when deleting a node which is linked to, a warning could be given and/or the link to that node removed.
check out the downloads
there are serveral ways to do this... chk-out downloads
Bookmarks and urlfilter don't seem suitable
I've looked at the downloads page and tried the bookmarks module, which looked like it might do what I want, but I don't see an easy way of pasting the bookmark into a story or post. Also the bookmarks module doesn't seem to automatically generate a list of links to any node on the site.
Urlfilter doesn't look as though it does what I want -- it doesn't munge a reference to a drupal node into an url.
Any suggestions of the right module to use would be gratefully received.

Hmmm... I'm really wanting an equivalent of img_assist
It doesn't seem to give me a list of nodes from my own drupal site that I can drop in to my postings, as img_assist allows me to do with images. I think that's what I'm really wanting.
I missed the links within
I missed the links within the site part. weblinks allows you to create links off site (or on really) and then link [ weblink: node# ] but not for your needs. Title module may do it.
You may end up have to create a custom filter. You might look at how the weblink module does it's filter code. Perhaps someone who understands filters better will chime in.

Title module
I think this is exactly what you're looking for (relating to inputting URLs).

DocForge - Because we need documentation too
Cool, but again not quite what I'd like
It does look neat, but I would like to be able to link to one specified page I'm sent to, not be given a list which are not specified directly by me. Sorry to be so picky :-(
?
I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for. If you put in the exact title of the page you want to link to then the link goes directly to that page. If the title isn't found it brings you to a search results page.
