*** **##mailto~:##** A required string identifying the resource as email.
*** **##emailAddress##**: Targeted email address. Example: ##john@smith.com##
** **Relative path**: A reference on the server in the form **##path: ({{{:(}}}relPath)##**. Example: ##path:$doc.getURL('reset')## produces target address ##http:~/~/server.domain.com/xwiki/bin/reset/Space/Page## where ##/xwiki/bin/reset/Space/Page## is produced by ##$doc.getURL('reset')##.
*** **##path:##** A required string identifying the resource as a relative path.
*** **##relPath##**: A required string containing the relative path of the resource on the server that shall be linked.

** **Untyped**: If none of the above -mentioned resource types are specified (i.e. no ##type:## resource prefix was specified in the link), then the link will be treated as a link to an XWiki terminal or non-terminal page using the following algorithm:
*** **##Terminal page##** in the current space, //only// if it exists. Example: ##~[~[A]]## is resolved to the equivalent of ##~[~[doc:currentSpace.A]]##
*** **##Non-terminal page##** {{info}}Since 7.4.1{{/info}} in the current space. Example: ##~[~[A]]## is resolved to the equivalent of ##~[~[space:currentSpace.A]]##, which is the equivalent of ##~[~[doc:currentSpace.A.WebHome]]##
*** If the current page is non-terminal and the previous 2 checks above did not find an existing page, 2 additional checks are made:
**** **##Terminal page##** {{info}}Since 7.4.1{{/info}} as sibling in the parent space, //only// if it exists. Example: The ##~[~[B]]## link inside the non-terminal page ##A.C## is resolved to the equivalent of ##~[~[doc:A.B]]##
**** **##Non-terminal page##** {{info}}Since 7.4.1{{/info}} as sibling in the parent space, regardless if it exists or not. Example: The ##~[~[B]]## link inside the non-terminal page ##A.C## is resolved to the equivalent of ##~[~[space:A.B]]##, which is the equivalent of ##~[~[doc:A.B.WebHome]]##
*** //Note1 - Absolute links//: {{info}}Since 7.4.1{{/info}} If the untyped link has 2 or more dot-separated components specified (i.e. that look like a space name and a page name), the above algorithm will resolve the page relative to the current wiki, and not the current space. Example: ##~[~[A.B]]## can be resolved to either ##~[~[doc:currentWiki:A.B]]## (if it exists) or to ##~[~[space:currentWiki:A.B]##] (equivalent of ##~[~[doc:currentWiki:A.B.WebHome]]##) and not to ##~[~[doc:currentWiki:currentSpace.A.B]]## or ##~[~[doc:currentWiki:currentSpace.A.B.WebHome]]##.
*** //Note2 - Special handling of ##.WebHome##//: {{info}}Since 7.4.1{{/info}} If the untyped link ends in ##.WebHome##, it will //always// be handled as a terminal page. Example: ##~[~[A.WebHome]]## will always be resolved to the equivalent of ##~[~[doc:A.WebHome]]## and not to ##~[~[doc:A.WebHome.WebHome]]##.
* **##parameters##**: An optional list of space-separated parameters passed to the link. Example: ##queryString="mydata1=5&mydata2=Hello" anchor="HTableOfContents" target="~_blank"##
** **##queryString##**: An optional query string for specifying parameters that will be appended to the link target address and used in the rendered URL. Example: ##url:http:~/~/domain.com/path||queryString="mydata1=5&mydata2=Hello"## produces target address ##http:~/~/domain.com/path?mydata1=5&mydata2=Hello##
** **##anchor##**: An optional anchor name pointing to an anchor defined in the referenced link. Note that in XWiki anchors are automatically created for headings and images. Example: ##url:http:~/~/domain.com/path||anchor="HTableOfContents"## produces target address ##http:~/~/domain.com/path#HTableOfContents##
** **##target##**: An optional parameter that allows to open link target in new window. Example: ##target="~_blank"##
