Easy way to insert links to system pages like member profile pages
I could really use an easy way to link a member's name to their directory profile. I have a lot of pages where I list a committee chairperson's name or an officer's name as in "See Sue Smith for more information." and I would like to put a hyperlink on 'Sue Smith' that takes the user straight to Sue's directory profile so that the user can find her contact information.
Right now, the only way I've figured out to do this is to log out as an administrator and log back in as a member. Then go to the member directory and find Sue Smith's profile. Then I copy the URL of this page to the clipboard or into Notepad if I have more than one profile URL that I need. Now I log out and log back in as an administrator again. I go to the place where I want the hyperlink, highlight the hyperlink text, click the Link button, and paste the profile page URL there. Pfew. That's a lot of back-and-forth just to get a directory link.
As an admin I can do this, but our average members who update content on the website would never figure it out.

Well, I don't know if WA just changed something or I just did it in a different way, but tonight I've got 2 different instances of explorer running and I'm signed in doing admin on one and viewing public/member on the other. Great!
