# Breaking: #102855 - Removed LinkService resolveByStringRepresentation hook {#breaking-102855-1705567984}

See [forge#102855](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/102855)

## Description {#description}

The hook `$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['Link']['resolveByStringRepresentation']`
has been removed in favor of the new PSR-14 event
`\TYPO3\CMS\Core\LinkHandling\Event\AfterLinkResolvedByStringRepresentationEvent`
event.

## Impact {#impact}

Any hook implementation registered is not executed anymore
in TYPO3 v13.0+.

## Affected installations {#affected-installations}

TYPO3 installations with custom extensions using this hook.

## Migration {#migration}

The hook is removed without deprecation in order to allow extensions
to work with TYPO3 v12 (using the hook) and v13+ (using the new event)
when implementing the event as well without any further deprecations.
Use the [PSR-14 event](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/changelog:feature-102855-1705568085)
to allow greater influence in the functionality.
