Link to an internal note does not work from an internal note

[VLNTNO]

Hi team,

I sometimes point to internal notes in my shaares.

For this I use a markdown link in a very short form such as [hello](?abcdef) to point to the existing note with ID abcdef. However this does not always work.

When I display an individual note on my site e.g. with ID a1b2c3 it appears with URL /shaare/a1b2c3; then I click a link such as the one above (to ID abcdef) the resulting link is to shaare/a1b2c3?abcdef instead of just shaare/abcdef, resulting in not pointing to the desired note.

My hosting provider (o2switch.net) constraints make me use the index.php string in URLs, may this issue be linked to this?

Do you have a suggestion about how to correctly and shortly write a link to an internal note which works in that case, without having to write the shaarli site prefix?

Regards.

Hi, I would need to run a few tests to figure out your issue exactly.

However, generally speaking ?smallhash URL are deprecated and are only kept for retro-compatibility. We could think of a way to support relative links, but I'd like to have a better understanding of your use case

I guess you are copy-pasting the ID, so what is the advantage of using relative links [hello](?abcdef) instead of permalinks [hello](http://bob.tld/shaare/abcdef)?

Hi, thank you for your reply.

The idea is to find a concise syntax to write links to other shaares.

I am exploring a way to use the shaarli engine to design paths between shaares, each shaare leading to one or several target shaares, E.g. using a shaarli site to build an interactive book where each shaare is a step where you can choose an action among several ones, each one leading to another step,

I guess this can be achieved by writing links such as [label](/ID) provided shaarli is installed in the root directory of a website.

I was looking for a syntax which would get rid of this constraint.

OK, it makes sense, thank you.
I suggest [label](+ID) instead, since it's not a supported link format.

So coding [label](+ID) in the Markdown will be translated into a "transversal" link to the shaare with ID ID, correct?
