Hi everyone,

I am coming back with a second question. I'm running into the issue where, when I move markdown pages around, the direct references to them in other pages need to be updated. This is a little tedious as I have a tendency to change things up frequently on a whim.

My question is, is there currently a way using FrontMatter or any other Thulite specific plugin that would allow me to set a specific "ID" or unique reference code to a markdown page, which would allow me to link to it even when the websites tree structure has changed?

For example

ID: 78

# Flatworms {ID=89}

Platyhelminthes (from the Greek πλατύ, platy, meaning "flat" and ἕλμινς (root: ἑλμινθ-), helminth-, meaning "worm")[4] is a phylum
of relatively simple bilaterian, unsegmented, soft-bodied invertebrates commonly called flatworms or flat worms. Being acoelomates
(having no body cavity), and having no specialised circulatory and respiratory organs, they are restricted to having flattened shapes 
that allow oxygen and nutrients to pass through their bodies by diffusion. The digestive cavity has only one opening for both 
ingestion (intake of nutrients) and egestion (removal of undigested wastes); as a result, the food can not be processed continuously.


# Osedax Worms {ID=99}

Osedax males are notably smaller than their female counterparts. Between 50 and 100 microscopic dwarf males live inside the tube surrounding a single female and never develop past the larval stage; they produce sperm from yolk reserves. Male dwarfism prevents competition with female Osedax worms for food and space. Conditions that favour dwarfism in male Osedax are:
1. Eliminates competition between male and female Osedax as resources are limited,
2. Sessile lifestyle: attach to and rely on females for food,
3. Decreases difficulty in finding a mate.
Interestingly, Osedax priapus lack the frequently observed male dwarfism. Males live freely and compete for space and food with females. Being larger, they produce and carry more sperm. However, sexual size dimorphism is still observed in O. priapus: most males are one-third the volume of females.

Could be referenced in a different page with

Not tested, but if I remember correctly, the link keeps working when moving pages around and you're using the Relref shortcode

Not exactly what I'm looking for, and I can't seem to find anything that fits my requirements so might have to code it up myself

Thanks for the help though
