# Feature: #28171 - Improved link field in FormEngine

See [forge#28171](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/28171)

## Description

The handling of link fields when managing records has been improved and now shows a human readable string,
an icon and an additional help text instead of the cryptic `t3://` syntax. This is enabled
by default for all `renderType="inputLink"` elements.

## Impact

Better UX of link fields in the Backend
