[TYPO3] TS Help: how to get a link to a page up in the rootline?

TSref is the place to go.
If it's in the list of properties for the desired element you can use it.

> 3) In section 8.3 of TSRef (see link below), it says TEXT cObj has a

No - stdWrap is a set of predefined functions that can be applied to the
content.
Some of them are wraps, others will produce links, format strings or do
other things with it.

In this case typolink is your friend:

20.5 = TEXT
20.5 {
    data = leveltitle : -2
    typolink.parameter.data = leveluid: -2
    wrap = <div class="menu1-level1-no">|</div>
}

Have a look at TSref to get the other possibilities of typolink.
