 * Hi there,
 * I am working on a blog where a bunch of articles will go live for the release
   of a new product. Now, all of those pages shall refer to themselves and need 
   to be linked with each other. Since all of them are published at once, the editors’
   workflow is to go forth and back to copy the permalink manually which is likely
   to cause some mistakes.
 * So I googled a lot and didn’t really find anything helpful ([only outdated stuff](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/101887/include-drafts-in-internal-link-dialog?rq=1)
   and [more outdated stuff](https://www.wp-tweaks.com/link-to-a-draft-wordpress-permalinks/))
   except [this dialogue here ](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-a-filter-to-post_link-to-link-to-draft-posts/)
   between [@turbodb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/turbodb/) and [@bcworkz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcworkz/)
   about the same topic.
    However, the posted solution causes my WP staging environment
   to not load any internal links anymore at all in the list.
 * can anyone help on this?
 * Thanks,
 * Hampton

 * If you have permalinks turned on, and you use the page_id, the browser will render
   the resolved name.
    i.e. : your-site.com/index.php?page_id=702 will resolved 
   to : your-site.com/title-of-the-page/
 * You can use this in your body content.

 * Hey [@corrinarusso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corrinarusso/)
 * Thanks for your reply. The issue for me is rather to manually list dozens of 
   permalinks instead of being able to select them directly in the editor.
    So I’m
   looking for a way to have the posts which are still drafts and unpublished in
   the link selector too.

 * Oh! Sorry – I miss understood.
    You want draft pages to display under the “drop
   down menu” when adding a link in the WYSIWYG. Gotcha.
