[TYPO3-core] RFC: Issue #2714: In RTE htmlArea, unable to do an internal link with several parameters

[Stanislas Rolland]

Hi Ingo,

> What problem? Please be more descriptive...

The problem was that when entering an internal link in the RTE, there 
was no way for the editor to add any query string to the url. If the 
link was entered as an external link, the domain would be recognized and 
the link would be parsed as an internal link, which would fail and 
result in an error being displayed in the RTE.

The original source of the problem was that TYPO3 <link> tags could not 
include any query string. This was solved by Michael Stucki on the FE 
during development of 4.2.0, but support of the new feature in the RTE 
could not be included before feature freeze. See 
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=2019 and 
http://forge.typo3.org/repositories/revision/typo3v4-core/3344

So this patch added the field in the link insertion dialogue and 
modified the RTE transformation in order to use the new convention for 
adding a query string to the link tag. url parsing by 
class.browse_links.php was also modified.

Perhaps it would be ok. I did it this way because I thought it was not a 
feature that most editors would need (I hope so because it has been 
absent for such a long time!), just like the field that allows an editor 
to enter a page id instead of using the page tree. But it could of 
course be the other way around.
