Sorry for my note here.
I haven't followed the whole thread, so maybe someone mentioned it before:

I have seen some sites, where the pagetype external URL is used so it realy
is a shortcut.
But: It had to be external URL because the link should include additional/
modified URL-paramters which can't be provided with shortcut. (Or is it
possible and the site-owner and me doesn't know?)

Would it be possible to enable an additional field for these paramters so
that other parameters are added automativcally like it is now with
shortcuts?
