As default in the Accelerator, CMS blocks can only link to pages, which is not enough for our customers and thus drives time in almost all projects.
Litium is using the "Pointer" for CMS Urls, and that is typically a bad option, there should exist a FieldType for URLs where the editor easily can link to either pages, external links, categories, sub-categories or products.
And of course, making sure the internal links are relative so that they are working after go-live.

Awesome!
This idea was released today with Litium 8.8.

Hi!
we are are currently implementing a Link field type to manage links to internal pages, categories, base products, variants, media or simply entering a URL as a text.
Planned for January release Litium 8.8.
This, currently you need to create multiple links that just spams the CMS backoffice and creates confusion.
Like Nils said, usually product page, category, or some external page this creates 3 fields for every item you want to have link support.
Then having that with other fields in a multifield object for example (say slider) just clutters everything and then what happens if both are filled in, then you have description icons that tell you what has priority but from user perspective its just a mess.
From my experience, only having page links as the default implementation is too restrictive. Sometimes I want to link to a specific product or category. The old CMS had almost all - if not actually all - of these by default.
I am curious, what else do you and your customers want Block to link to, other than pages? And when you say link, do you mean block can be dropped only into pages?
