Hi, I'll have a look at these links, thank you.
I agree that what I'm toying with is breaking the RESTfulness of Sling, but at the end of the day we're not building RESTful webapps, we're building consumer websites. Therefore REST is not that much of an issue. However, the more I read about Sling, the more i realize I might be approaching this the in the wrong way. But let's assume i'd be building a mobile version using selectors, i'd have to ensure that all rendered internal links have the appropriate selector attached, otherwise a client would "break out" of the specific version of the website. Does Sling support me with link externalization?
