-To try to formalize and clarify my first proposal: An administrator would be able for each wiki to create a list of off-wiki "places" that are accessed via certain items in the wiki root (or could be under a subpage too of course). The example is illustrated by publicfiles and the symlink, but a non-symlink solution would probably be better. A natural way to specify off-wiki places are absolute URLs, but also relative to the wiki root, since that would fit to my case. Just like you can't go out of the wiki root, you should not be able to go up from such an external resource. This should all be done in some plugin of course. I'll have to learn Perl before I write the plugin though :) --ulrik
