What is it you're trying to achieve? A button in the editor bar that provides tags, but what would the user place into those tags? The nodeid?MARK.B

You cannot have the topic link of one node (topic, article, etc...) redirect to another node. This is because the system wasn't designed like this. I'd use a Search Module on the page and limit it to the specific nodes you want to list using custom JSON.
To do this...- First we need to create a new page template for this channel.
- Click on "Edit Page".
- Click on Save Page (to prevent errors on other pages)
- On the save dialog, select "Overwrite Template" - No.
- Enter a new name. I suggest something with the Channel Name in it so you recognize it in the future.
- Finish Saving.
Now we can add the module.- Click on Edit Page
- Select the Content tab in the Module List.
- Add the Search Module to your page.
- Click on "Switched to Advanced Editor" at the top of the dialog box.
- Name it (i.e. Related Articles). Set the display values but you don't need to set number of results.
- Now we need to look at the "Search JSON" box. It will contain some code that looks like this:
Code:{"sort":{"null":null},"view":"","exclude_type":["vBForum_PrivateMessage"]}
- We want to change it to:
Code:{"sort":{"null":null},"view":"","exclude_type":["vBForum_PrivateMessage"],"specific":[XXX,YYY,ZZZ]}
- Save the Module.
- Save the Page.
