Use for different kinds of links:

• Internal Links;
• Media Links;
• External Links;
• Anchor Links;
• Mail addresses;
• JavaScript Links.

Client view:

Inserts a field with a selector button. 

When clicked, the selector button opens the "Insert an internal link" dialog where a user can specify the link to a particular Sitecore Item.  

The selector button also has a submenu consisting of the following options:  

• Insert Link – click to insert a link into a Sitecore Item;
  
• Insert Media link - click to insert a link into a media Item;
  
• Insert external link – click to insert a link into a web page;
  
• Insert anchor link - click to insert a link into an anchor on the web page;
  
• Insert mail address - click to insert a “mailto:...” link;
  
• Insert JavaScript link - click to insert a JavaScript link;
  
• Clear – clears the field.

The properties in all “insert link” dialogues are common HTML properties.

The link properties can then be retrieved programmatically.

Valid default value:

Ignored.

Source:

Use the Source field to specify the entry point for lookup. Makes sense for internal links only (click here to see the example).
