Hi Jian, Thanks for the reply and the solution! I gave it a shot, and while it definitely seems like it should work, it doesn't seem to be. The "Status Page" where the keyworded updates are being drawn to is on a different node from the original page where the statuses live. The info place holder (inside an anchor tag) is leading to the 'Status Page's' main-link, rather than the main-link for the statuses.
