@Jonathan
I think you are right about the /<function>/<table>/<id> convention
for SQLTABLE linkto.
But by using linkto=URL() I should be able specify whichever URL I
want rather than have to work around an unnecessary convention?
@Richard
I played around a little, but I couldn't make that work for me, but
maybe I'm missing something.
