Well that's plenty good reason to keep "link" the way it is.

How about "filter" or "show".  Here they are in context:

(:pagelist show=all:)

Hmm. Filter seems to have the opposite connotation than I was thinking.
It feels like I'd be getting the chaff rather than the wheat.  But
"show" seems okay.
