Linkit

The use case we looked at was creating internal links in an automatic way. (How do we add a link from one node to another node or taxonomy term without copying and pasting the URL of the target?)

We also looked at the LinkIt module (https://www.drupal.org/project/linkit). The general consensus was that LinkIt is a good choice for integrating with WYSIWYG while Advanced Link is good for creating fields. However, be sure to test both of these modules out for your own needs.

Below are the functional regression testing resources we explored:

Link in D8

We also took a look at the Link field type in Drupal 8. This field incorporates functionality from both the Link and Advanced Link modules from Drupal 7. For an overview of Link in Drupal 8, see #3 in this post: https://www.ostraining.com/blog/drupal/new-fields/
