    ShervinS I am running into the same problem. Trying to insert a link to an item (URL) and the location of the item is within a links list (library). When I click the link on the webpage after inserting and saving, it opens the Item Properties page for the item and makes me click on the URL shown there.  I don't want to do two steps!  I am guessing you haven't found a solution??
