Hi Christopher,

I tried doing this:

3 < .default
3.field = url # <-Changed this from title
3.stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars = 1
3.typolink.parameter.dataWrap = {field:title} # <- changed this from url
3.typolink.returnLast = url

In the hope that it would simply swap the fields... But no dice. That's 
all I need to be able to do... get typolink to swap the parameters. It 
doesn't work (read: I can't get it to work) even if I do something like

3.typolink.parameter = http://subdomain.example.com

It feels like I'm SO close to a solution. Looks like I might have to 
investigate the userFunc option of typolink....
