RecordLinkHandler extends AbstractLinkHandler implements LinkHandlerInterface, LinkParameterProviderInterface
This link handler allows linking to arbitrary database records.
They can be configured in addition to default core link handlers and are rendered as additional tab in the link browser.
A typical use case is linking a single new record.
Additional page TSconfig TCEMAIN.linkHandler setup is necessary to use this.
A typical configuration looks like the below snippet. It configures a tab that allows linking to ext:news news records ("table" is mandatory), labels them as "Book reports" (LLL: is possible), forces a specific page-uid (optional), and hides page-tree selection (optional).
TCEMAIN.linkHandler.bookreports { handler = TYPO3\CMS\Backend\LinkHandler\RecordLinkHandler label = Book Reports configuration { table = tx_news_domain_model_news storagePid = 42 hidePageTree = 1 } }
This class is a specific LinkHandler implementation and is not part of the TYPO3's Core API.
