# Insert/edit link (dialog)

 * I need to create a button in the tinyMCE editor that when clicked presents the
   editor with the same Insert/edit link dialog they get with the links button. 
   So I need to repurpose that functionality. Differences:
 * Steps:
    Open the Insert/edit link dialog via button. Do this without having to
   highlight a word first (unlike link button). Allow user to select a link from
   posts (same as link dialog – even better if I can hide the url field). Edit the
   title if required and insert into post with custom styling (wrapped in a div.
   class).
 * Results:
    See More | “This cool article you should read”.
 * I just can’t figure out how to access that window and functionality without having
   to recreate the wheel.
