I find the LINK popup dialog in the page editor utterly confusing.
External URLs are no problem, as they use absolute paths anyway, which don't have to do with the internal structure of GetSimple.
But the other options don't seem to make sense and don't seem to recognize the intent of previous internal URL edits.
Usual places for internal URLs, however, are usually relative to the directories
- the site's autogenerated pages
- data/uploads/
- theme/myTheme/ (maybe)
Since, apparently, one should use absolute paths (in view of easy site migration), it is useful to provide URLs like e.g., <?php get_site_url();>data/uploads/images/...
My suggestion: why not include the most used combinations in the popup dialog? (AND to recognise these when calling up the dialog later !!!)
