I am building a small dictionary/vocabulary/wiki database in Pages and would like to use word expansion to link to the entries.

Unfortunately, I cannot prevent linking the word in the database record itself. It is shown linked to itself that does not make sense.

It would be very helpful to suppress linking the word to the page if we are already on the page.

My mod can do that:

Just FYI (and others). 😉

I know. I have it 😄 But my customer - not.

This was a suggestion for default feature. Not linking to itself is the that tiny missing part that prevents us to create wikis, dictionaries and even more with Pages and integrate them in the whole suite just out of the box. 😊

I've had this app:

I would rather do it with Pages.

@Sonya* Did you find a solution and when your plugin will be available? 😉

Not yet. I am still somewhere in between Custom Links by @DawPi not reinventing the wheel and a plugin preventing linking itself.

I tend to write my plugin though.

Indeed. My mod can do that and it doing it very well.

@DawPi, your app is almost perfect. However, I am missing content fields in Pages. 

I see custom links perfectly parsed in forum posts, calendar events, comments, and reviews in Pages. But the content field (article body) is not respected. This is critical for me. 😞
