How do you embed a link from a database into a page?

[Ethan Marshall]

I have created a content database where I can house all of the YouTube videos, links, and documents needed for the onboarding process. The idea is to be able to simply embed the links/files from one database into the various onboarding pages, rather than embed them into each page. That way, if we have to change content, we can simply fix it in one place, and it will be adjusted everywhere.

I can do this, but instead of just showing the link, it is also pulling up the database entitled "Onboarding Content." Is there any way I can just have the Smartlink visible on the page? It makes the page look clunky and I would rather not show the title of the database; I just want it to show the embedded value from the database.

One thing I tried was selecting the "inline" option. Unfortunately, the smartlink disappears and the only text that remains is the "Onboarding Content" tab.

Hi @Ethan Marshall 

How are you doing it now?

Currently, I am typing the /embed database command, then for the database dropdown I am selecting my database, for the entry I am selecting the specific entry that contains the link I want to embed in the page, then for the value I am selecting the "link" value, where the link is stored, then I am clicking Embed. Once I do this, I see this image:

I would like it to just display the smartlink from the value I have selected, but when I select the "inline" option, it just displays the link to the database, as pictured below:

The other option that is the best that I've found thus far, is to select the "embed" option, as pictured below:

What I would like, is to have an option where it just displays the smartlink from the value in that entry without the link to the database. Is that not possible currently?
