Can views accommodate a name attribute for links when outputting fields as links? This would allow for better integration with jquery tools such as colorbox and simple dialog that use all of the possible attributes of the a anchor tag.
It would be great to be able to add something like name="my text string" to a link rendered by views.
I've attached a snapshot of the output fields as a link popup to give more context.

Comment #1
ravi.kumar88 commentedThere are two alternatives to achieve this:
1. Instead of selecting "Output this field as a link" choose "Rewrite the output of this field" and in the text write as below:
<span name="desired_name">[title]</span>where [title] is one of the rewrite pattern (you can choose any).
2. By applying the patch you will be able to get a Name field under the "REWRITE RESULT ->Output this field as a link" as shown in screen shot.Just insert the name of the field that will be assigned as an attribute to the field.

rv0 commentedeven more fun would be completely custom attributes, to support HTML5 data attributes
Comment #8
Yuri commentedThe patch does not apply well.
Comment #9
Yuri commentedThe option to use "Rewrite the output of this field" also does not work for example rel="width:500"
The width: is stripped out.
