View template for Link renders resolveuid URL

[fulv]

The LinkFieldWidget introduced in the Link content type to select a target object or URL is a nice usability addition (6daea2d5a and aea91f19a2).

However, the view template now renders a URL with a resolveuid/.....uid.... in it when the user selects an internal object as the target for remoteUrl.

This is ugly and does not convey the expected information to the editor user. As an editor, I want to see the path to the object in the URL, not a uid.

(I can hover the mouse on the link and see the actual path in the URL displayed by the browser, showing that the href attribute has the full path and not a resolveuid.)

meta code:

link_url = context.unrestrictedTraverse('@@link_redirect_view').absolute_target_url()
display_link = context.unrestrictedTraverse('@@link_redirect_view').display_link()

root_url = context.unrestrictedTraverse('@@plone_portal_state').navigation_root_url
if 'resolveuid' not in link_url:
    url = link_url
else
    url = root_url + display_link['meta']

this is what I use to display the Link absolute url. The real fix is to update @@link_redirect_view to provide a method to display the absolute_url. The Link type uses 2 fields, I think it should use just one to store the external url or the uid. Or ad an absolute_url method that resolve the uid url (maybe using the catalog?).
