Let’s assume I have a “post” model with a “content” rich text field, to which I’d like to embed links to my posts. For this, I create a new model, “inline article link”, which has a “title” field and a relational field to “post”. (I could use the built-in anchor link, but that doesn’t allow for custom fields and I’d need to hardcode the url.)
Here’s my current flow for when I need to add a link to an existing article:
- Write “post” content
- Exit current view and go to “inline article link” content type
- Click “Create item”
- Write a “title” and choose a “post”
- Select “post” content type
- Click the “post” from step #1
- Scroll down to “content” rich text field
- Use inline embed and add the newly created “inline article link”
Here’s the desired flow:
- Write “post” content
- Use “inline embed” and choose “inline article link”
- Click “Create” or similar from the modal
- Create a new “inline article link” with a title and “post”
- Save and embed
This becomes a fairly slow process for articles with several links.
