Insert Excerpt doesn't include a link to the original page with the excerpt

[jacqueline.hong]

I'm currently using excerpts to display the same information across multiple different pages in confluence. Usually when I'm adding/inserting, I'll be juggling multiple pages in confluence, however when I need to edit an excerpt but I'm not on the original page, I have to recall which page it's on and then go to that page to edit.

I'd love for the top label that displays the excerpt page and name to be a hyperlink (in both view mode and editing mode)

Has anyone found a work around for this?

Hi @jacqueline.hong ,

If it happens so that you have our Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence app, you may take its Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include macros.

Here the "Table" part in the macro names comes as a brand, you can reuse different types of content, not strictly tables.

And among the meta data options of the Table Excerpt Include macro you'll be able to choose "Page" - page title of the source page with a link. Seems that is what you are looking for.

Hi @jacqueline.hong 

A trick that you could use is to add a link to the page storing the excerpt content at the end of the excerpt content for the view mode at least (but I test it and you also have the link in edit mode)

I give an example in wiki markup to be more readable :

{excerpt}
My Content.....

[link to my page|^Source of this section^]
{excerpt}
