I'm new to Drupal. Out of the box, there doesn't seem to be anywhere to easily add links from other pages to new content. I'm currently using a piece of paper and a pencil to write down the clean URLs as I create them, but surely this can't be the only way to do it. In other CMSes I've used, there is often a drop-down list of internal links (stored by the CMS) that can be selected from when creating a hyperlink text of image content.

Have I missed something? Is there a core module or a contributed module that does this? What do my fellow Drupalers use? I've had a brief look at some of the contributed modules that 'seem' like they do this, but haven't seen anything that matches my mental model.

If you're talking about putting the links in a separate field from your body text, then CCK's NodeReference (http://drupal.org/project/cck) should do what you want (or maybe Filefield/Imagefield if you're including a binary file).

If you're talking about calling the links from within your body text, then the Ulink filter (http://drupal.org/project/ulink) is the only one I've found so far. Inline References (http://drupal.org/project/inline_references) looks interesting but it's in early development and I haven't tried it yet. Let me know if you come across anything better.
