It works best as a part of the Infobox system. Each infobox can have different groups of links (Store links, Download links, etc.). As a workaround that allows for re-using of the same template in forms with multiple link groups, we create ''aliases'' (redirects), e.g.:
* [[Template:Community link]]
* [[Template:Store link]]
* [[Template:Contact link]]
* [[Template:Download link]]
* [[Template:Event link]]

They all call [[Module:Link]] that:
* escalates the URL to the direct page properties
* stores all link parameters in a subobject
* renders the link

'''So, the URL is accessible by the direct query while the detailed data can be retrieved via a subquery, depending on your needs.'''
