Thanks Eric for the non-obvious solution.
For completeness I tried to use element-tag="$link" hoping that I would get
the tag-pill graphic but the functionality of a link. However it looked
like a link.
Also thanks for the trick about partial overriding core macros. I have some
customization to have a dropdown to choose tags for some other field that
only authors have in my wiki and I copy-paste-modified the whole thing.
