Feature Proposals » $name tokens for [[WebName.TopicName][$name]], [[%ATTACHURL%/filename.ext][$name]]

Motivation

• It's cumbersome to write [[%SYSTEMWEB%.SpreadSheetPlugin][SpreadSheetPlugin]] -- you need to write this way if NOAUTOLINK is on. Writing the same thing (SpreadSheetPlugin) twice should be avoided. [[%SYSTEMTWEB%.SpreadSheetPlugin][$topictitle]] is close, but there are cases where the topic name is wanted in place of the topic title
• It's cumbersome to write [[%ATTACHURL%/filename.ext][filename.ext]]. Writing the same thing (filename.ext) twice should be avoided

Description and Documentation

• [[WebName.TopicName][$name]] -- $name is replaced with TopicName
• [[%ATTACHURL%/filename.ext][$name]] -- $name is replaced with filename.ext

Discussion

Looks good to me. Wondering though if we should use $name instead be consistent with the QuerySearch language.

Agreed with $name. [[WebName.TopicName][$name]] and [[%ATTACHURL%/filename.ext][$name]] are better. Changed the TopicSummary and the name of this topic accordingly.
