For Page-type properties, an ability to set the property value different than the link is sorely needed
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Description:
When you set a Page-type property, you can make the text displayed in the page different than the actual link -- ie, [[Property::Link|TextDisplayed]]. However, in the factbox and when properties get displayed in searches (and queried in searches), the link's title is what counts -- not the alternate text.

It would be *really really* nice (and practically a requirement for my own wiki, where I first noticed this issue) if there was a mechanism to get "TextDisplayed" as the displayed and used (for display, searching, etc.) value for the property, instead of "Link" (though it could and should still link to page "Link").
