If a page content a big picture, when i try to insert a hyperlink to a topic below it, the cursor goes up.

Hi Ingvar,

The easiest way to avoid this kind of thing is to use a different method for the hyperlink. There are two other methods you can use:

1) Select the target topic in the TOC and press CTRL+C to copy. Then click in the topic and press CTRL+V to insert the link to the topic. (You can also copy multiple TOC entries like this to create a list of links. Use CTRL+Click and SHIFT+Click to select multiple entries, then CTRL+C to copy.)

2) Press CTRL+L to open the Link tool, then just select the Topic ID of the topic you want to link to to create the link.

Unfortunately, both of these options are not comfortable when the project is large.
The first option is not convenient because selecting the topic (where i have to press CTRL + C) I lose the original page, and I will need it again to search a page where you need to press CTRL + V. If the tree is large, it is problematic.
The second option is not convenient because Target and the title I have different (as the title of written Cyrillic and Latin Target), and search for the desired topic is very difficult.

We have plans to introduce a list of topic titles as targets in the Link tool in a future version. I can't currently say exactly when this will be, however.

This method does not work if the topic and TOC are owned by different projects
