[Typo3] links to subpages

[Joseph Mesterhazy]

I'm resurrecting this old thread because I am curious about this  
problem as well. I would like to be able to have pages of type  
'shortcut' to be able to link directly to a content element on  
another page. Right now the only solution is to make the page type  
'external url' and hard link to that content element which obviously  
is not a good solution.

Are there any other methods of having pages in the page tree all be a  
link to the same page, but to different content elements in that  
page? (much like the 'sitemap' content element you can place in a page)
