I’m curious whether there is a feature to allow one to quickly link to an article within one’s Discourse forum by just typing part of it’s title–something like the “at mention” system, but for existing articles by title rather than members’ names.

If not, it could be really cool to have something like that, or even auto-complete in the link menu if you type words rather than a url starting with http.

Maybe it starts with “/”?

That works fine in the Ctrl+L dialog if you have the link already, but I’m talking about cases when you just know the title of the article and want to link to it quickly.

Relevant discussion here:

This topic can perhaps be closed in favour of the new feature request topic?
