I am having with a taxonomy based navigation system. In my admin > categories I have defined a main navigation vocabulary and terms for that vocabulary that match the different sections and sub-sections of my site. I am using the shortcuts module to render those nested terms as links on my page.
This makes for a quick set up my site architecture. When I map my content to the individual terms, my content will show up in abbreviated form there and with a separate link to that contents individual node.
What I want to to have the term link to the specific node. What is happening now is that the term links to a page with a reference to the node. For instance say I have an About page that I map to the 'about' term. When I click the About link in my taxonomy-based navigation it takes me to a page with an abbreviated version of my About page with a link to the About node. This seems a little redundant to me. Is there anyone out there who can explain the correct way of doing this?

Don't use taxonomy for navigation
That's the short answer.
The longer answer includes just using the built in menu system to create direct links. For 4.6, the menu-on-the-fly module lets you do this in one step.
Or, use book pages, which create a book menu block automatically.
Or, go check out the categories module.
Or, read this, which I don't agree with and is a bit hackish.
