CardName: More flexible card linking Cost: Type: Pow/Tgh: / Rules Text: What it says on the tin. It seems to me that it should be possible to come up with a scheme that allows to cards without requiring the name. E.g. (((24410::this card))) for [this card](http://multiverse.heroku.com/cards/24410), if only because changing (temporary) card names wreck up links. Flavour Text: Set/Rarity: Multiverse Feedback None |

You already can. E.g. Combined Assault. It's done the same way as linking to inside a set.
Really? I assumed that of course it wasn't possible because, I mean... what happens if there are homonyms, e.g. Industrial Sabotage (of which there are two)?
edited to only the non-cardname links
Hmm. This does already exist: type without spaces
( ( ( C 24410 ) ) )and you get Combined Assault. As dude points out you can also do cardname linking :( ( ( Combined Assault ) ) )without spaces will link to the Combined Assault in the current cardset if there is one, and otherwise to the earliest-created card with that name.I could probably do with documenting it better though. Also, it would be nice to allow such links to change the displayed text. It's possible to go
[link text](http://multiverse.heroku.com/cards/24410)- as in fact you did in this card's text - but yeah, I could have a go at adding an easier way to do that. (I support much less formatting in card text.)I don't like playing with those regexps because it's a bit hairy trying to get things sensibly before and after the external library Markdown parsing I do, but you're right this would be worth looking into.
Thanks for saying about name-agnostic links, and good god, I really should try things before commenting about them ><.
I personaly don't care for link in card text, FWIW. I guess I was just being a bit of a moron.
sounds like no action required here, then
