How to link inside content to another content item in Joomla?

To link inside content to another content item in Joomla, you can follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Joomla administrator backend.
2. Create or Locate the Target Content Item:
   • If you haven’t created the target content item yet, navigate to “Content” > “Articles” > “Add New Article” to create it.
   • If the target content item already exists, note down its article ID. You can find the article ID by navigating to “Content” > “Articles” and locating the desired article. The article ID typically appears in the URL when you edit the article.
3. Insert a Link:
   • Navigate to the content item where you want to insert the link.
   • Highlight the text or image that you want to turn into a link.
   • Click on the link icon in the editor toolbar (it usually looks like a chain link).
   • In the link dialog box, you’ll see a field for “URL.” Instead of entering a full URL, you’ll enter a relative URL that links to the other content item. The format is typically index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=XX, where XX is the ID of the target article.
   • If you want the link to open in a new window or tab, you can set the “Target” option accordingly.
   • Click “Insert” or “Save” to create the link.
4. Save your changes:
   • After inserting the link, remember to save your changes to the content item.

By following these steps, you’ll be able to link inside content to another content item in Joomla effectively.
