External links in GoFAST
-
It is not essential but would be nice to have the possibility to add a title to external links.
Just imagine we use external links to something with a URL pattern similar to that of GoFAST: "https://mydomain.com/?pageid=123", where pageid=123 contains supporting information to topic x and pageid=356 I also want to link contains the legal background for topic x. It would be very handy to not just display the "permalink"

Hello @classen,
Thank you for suggesting this idea. I opened a ticket internally GOFAST - 7218 to improve this feature.

The automatic display would already be great, that works very well with well structured modern sites (like this forum, or I looked at our own public website, and even our financial software).
Replacing that manually or adding an additional label would still be very helpful. It is typical that in a DMS like GoFAST you have internal documents with references to internal, often legacy apps that do not have varying names. It could also be that you use a link to information in a different language; replacing such a label coming from a page title with a reference in a language shared by the readers would help, even for those readers who could not themselves understand the contents of the actually linked page. However, I leave it to you to see if that is complicating matters too much; as I wrote, just having the page title displayed would be a good help.
