[Dspace-general] Link to item

[Shane Beers]

I asked one of the developers this a few months back, and  
unfortunately you cannot create a permanent URL to an item. You can  
link directly to the bitstream in a NON permanent fashion, however.  
When you hover over the link to the bitstream you can see the URL, and  
right-click/copy link location or whatever your browser calls that  
function. It will not be a permanent URL in the sense that it uses the  
handle resolving system, however.

Hope this helps a bit.

Shane
