ResolveLink ?

My current way of dealing with (url|intermap|attachment)s? is to write
something like:

 # $arg is the reference given in the markup argument
 #
 $f = MakeLink($pagename, $arg, NULL, NULL, '$LinkUrl');
 if(strrpos($f, 'action=approvesites') !== false) return Keep($f);
 #
 # do what you want with $f

The (kludgy) test is here to catch unapproved urls. In this case, the
markup should render as an unapproved link only.

Pagenames have already the FmtPageName/PageExists artillery available.

IMHO, the real benefit of having ingredients in the core would to
avoid binding recipes too tight with specific literal values
('action=approvesites' in the given example), which could evolve on
their own (within the core).
