Issue

In 7.3, contrary to 7.4, it is not possible to select a page using the type='link' tag in a fragment. Only 'content' and 'URL' options are available. This feature would be very useful to, for example, avoid creating as many manual URL links as languages needed.

Environment

Liferay 7.3 and 7.2

Resolution

This could be achieved by taking advantage of 'Link to Page' type of field of structures:
- Add a new web content structure with a 'Link to Page' field.
- Add a new template for the structure:
  - Click on the 'Link to Page' field
  - Delete the HTML content generated in the editor.
  - Keep in the editor only the variable containing the friendlyUrl of the page. Something like:
```
${LinkToPage20dl.getFriendlyUrl()}
```
- Add a new web content based on the recently created structure. Fill the 'Link to Page' field to the desired site page.
- Map your fragment's editable link from this content field.
