How to add an item as a link?

I would like to add an item as a link rather than an actual document.  This would enable me to post an item (i.e. Interesting Web Address) but put an underlying link in it so that it just takes the user to the web address.  I know that in sharepoint I have been able to do this, but I cannot figure out a way to do this with Office Live Workspace.  Any suggestions?

Hi Norm,

Have you looked at our Web Note?  You can write a short description of the link and include a hyperlink anywhere in the note.  Let us know if this works for you.

Hi Oscar... thanks for the reply.  The note is close to what I would like, but not exactly.  It would be nice to be able to assign a link to the text of the item title.  That way users only have to click on the title which would then take them directly to the associated link.  Similar behavior to the item links that exist right now (e.g. note, document, spreadsheet) but have it be an editor defined link.

Hi Norm,

Thanks for clarifying.  We don't currently support Hyperlinks as independent top level workspace items.  I've noted your request and I'm forwarding your request to the appropriate feature team.

Perfect. I was looking for a way to post a del.icio.us link in a shared workspace and the Web Note will work perfectly. Thanks Oscar!

I created a link to one of my SkyDrive folders using a Note - worked like a charm. This gives me a poor man's way to extend Office Live Workspace to an outside set of shared folders.

Re: How to add an item as a link?

For some reason this is not working for me.  I am running Vista and IE7.  I followed the instructions in workspace help for adding a hyperlink to a workspace note. Any suggestions?
