No, I mean RTE needs to be able to handle the x-y Syntax in links.

I expect that this feature needs a LOT more stuff in many parts of the 
core to work. Imagine fields of type "group" where page elements can be 
selected. In case of a shortcut, you will then need to be able to store 
(and process!!) not only integers, but also x-y MP syntax. This is 
probably not really backwards-compatible. Maybe those fields will have 
to be split in two internally and the UI then displays it corretly, so 
that only "new" extensions (and new core) will handle this, old 
extensions will handle it like it has always been.

Going through all possible places where such "beasts" should be 
processed will probably be a pain, but it might be possible.

Cheers,
Ernesto
