I want to do something that's perhaps connected to the id so that if the title/slug updates, then I don't have to hunt anything down in entries across the CMS.
Something like this maybe?
[Link to an entry](/section#entry:10725)

I just figured out how to do this. It was vexing me!
Anyway, Craft is awesome and has provided support for Reference Tags.
Write your Markdown like this:
[link text]({entry:20})
Here's the Twig:
{{ entry.markdown|parseRefs|markdown }}
Reference Tags support more than just entries, but this was the bit that I needed.

Wow! Excellent answer @plaintxt! This works, and I learned something new about Craft. Well done!– RyanCommented Mar 13, 2018 at 0:30

1Also, it's pretty cool that you can get all kinds of information about an entry using Reference Tags. I used this yesterday: [{entry:40:title}]({entry:40}) Which resolves to an <a> tag populated with the entry's title and url.– plaintxtCommented Mar 13, 2018 at 13:01
http://mysite.com/#entry:2You can change the#entry:2title, slug - whatever and everything will still work since Craft is linking to the entry. It doesn't care what you call it.|markdownfilter. I know how to make a link in markdown[text](url)but I'm wondering how to fill in the url dynamically based on id.http://mysite.com/#entry:2doesn't work because it prints exactly that string out as the url. I want#entry:2to convert into the uri for that entry on output.
