# Feature: #79626 - Integrate record link handler {#feature-79626}

See [forge#79626](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/79626)

## Description {#description}

The functionality of EXT:linkhandler has been integrated into the core. It enables editors to link to single records.

The configuration consists of the following parts:

**PageTsConfig** is used to create a new tab in the LinkBrowser to be able to select records:

```typoscript
TCEMAIN.linkHandler.anIdentifier {
    handler = TYPO3\CMS\Recordlist\LinkHandler\RecordLinkHandler
    label = LLL:EXT:extension/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:link.customTab
    configuration {
        table = tx_example_domain_model_item
    }
    scanBefore = page
}
```

The following optional configuration is available:

-   `configuration.hidePageTree = 1`: Hide the page tree in the link browser
-   `configuration.storagePid = 1`: Let the link browser start with the given page
-   `configuration.pageTreeMountPoints = 123,456`: Mount the given pages instead of the regular page tree

You can position your own handlers in order as defined in [https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/core/latest/Changelog/7.6/Feature-66369-AddedLinkBrowserAPIs.html](https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/core/latest/Changelog/7.6/Feature-66369-AddedLinkBrowserAPIs.html)

**TypoScript** is used to generate the actual link in the frontend

```typoscript
config.recordLinks.anIdentifier {
    // Do not force link generation when the record is hidden
    forceLink = 0

    typolink {
        parameter = 123
        additionalParams.data = field:uid
        additionalParams.wrap = &tx_example_pi1[item]=|&tx_example_pi1[controller]=Item&tx_example_pi1[action]=show
        useCacheHash = 1
    }
}
```
