By default WordPress returns full permalinks in post editing form queries. If later you decide to change site path or post title, your links in posts may become invalid and you’ll have to update them all. With this plugin you can add safe (non-SEF) absolute or relative links to posts, which won’t require update.
Default behavior
Original linked post title: My Cool Post
Original linked post href: http://yoursite.com/my-cool-post
Displayed linked post URL: http://yoursite.com/my-cool-post
New linked post URL: New Great Title
New linked post href: http://yoursite.com/new-great-title
Displayed linked post URL: http://yoursite.com/my-cool-post
With Safe Links plugin
Original linked post title: My Cool Post
Original linked post href: ?p=123 (http://yoursite.com/?p=123)
Displayed linked post URL: http://yoursite.com/my-cool-post
New linked post URL: New Great Title
New linked post href: ?p=123 (http://yoursite.com/?p=123)
Displayed linked post URL: http://yoursite.com/new-great-title
