[TYPO3-hci] Doktypes: Advanced and a new one

[Benjamin Mack]

100% agreed.

Uschi, there are tons of places where you have one field for all the 
different types of links. The example I used to convince Ingo was: Check 
the field when you want to link an image. You have the "link" field 
where a popup opens and you can choose. My wish would be to make linking 
act the same way for all uses in the Backend.

plus, as somebody else stated before --- Shortcut is used in the BE UI 
as well, so it's not a good naming in general :)

greetings,
benni.
