That's what i had in mind.

But the "problem" here is generating the same link 5x without changing 
any input parameters.
If the parameters for the link don't change (and i hope noone changes 
any config.linkVars or similar settings between that generation), 
couldn't that be cached? Should not be tooooo hard to implement and 
could improve rendering for listings of records where e.g. headline, 
image, and "more" is linked to the same detail view.
