Yeah, but i suppose this should be possible with CASE or if TS functions. 
However i'm not sure how to do it, so some example would be helpfull. And 
what i try to do is this.  I need to insert a link in a template, based on 
news category currently displayed on a page, which will point to different 
pages . So for example:

There is a page with sport news on it (sport category) and within it there 
is a link Archive which should point to the Sport archive page. The problem 
is that i use only 1 template for displaying each category so i have to 
create link dinamicly based on news category.

I'm not sure if this is clear so maybe a little pic :-)

Sport page  (Template1)
-----------------
sport news bla bla
sport news bla bla
sport news bla bla

Archive (this should point to Sport archive page)

Culture page (Template1)
------------------
culture news bla bla
culture news bla bla
culture news bla bla

Archive (this should point to Culture archive page)

etc...

Thx!
