# Feature: #54519 - Report links to disabled linkhandler records

See [forge#54519](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/54519)

## Description

A new configuration option has been introduced for the linkhandler link checker
in the linkvalidator extension:

```typoscript
mod.linkvalidator.linkhandler.reportHiddenRecords = 1
```

When enabled links will be considered invalid when they point to disabled records.
By default only links to deleted records are reported.

## Impact

The `TYPO3CMSLinkvalidatorLinktype::checkLink()` method has been restructured
and will now determine if the linked record is deleted or hidden and report
a error depending on the `reportHiddenRecords` configuration.
