I do find this a bit confusing, and would personally be more inclined
to use something more doslike, like:
[[..\..\Uncle\Cousin.page]], it's just it looks really problematic.

I do like this! And it would be pretty easy. I don't see why we
couldn't have both the *'s for absolute paths, and the ^'s for
relative paths. The markup would be virtually identical, just a slight
change in the function that produces the link. Maybe can have that
ready later today.

Didn't know that existed--but GREAT!!! That was something I really
wanted but wasn't sure how to do. Happy sigh of relief...
Cheers,
