A plugin for linking Joomla articles by their titles instead of hand-written URLs, so links break less often when the target article changes. Also covers menus, VirtueMart and more.
TitleLink by Tobias Gesellchen helps with internal linking without copying addresses around. The editor names the target page by its title in the text, and the plugin builds the link. When the target article gets a new URL or moves within the menu, the chance of ending up with a broken link is much lower. The project is more than ten years old and its code is open on GitHub.
