Let's create a simple link to another topic in the collection.
Manually add a link to another topic in the collection
To add a link manually, select the link text and click on the link toolbar button
at the top of the editor to insert the target file name in the URL field of the Hyperlink Properties dialog.
If your plan is to publish to HTML, which is most likely, enter the name of the "published" target file, which is the "id" of the topic plus the ".html" extension.
To create a link to a file with the identifier "my_topic", you would enter "my_topic.html".
