Isn't what the user sees once he clicks this sort of link (adjusted to
be browser-usable of course) a build description? I tend to agree with
Maciej that the location is an implementation detail and the field name
should describe what content the link is pointing to.

Anyway, the field name can easily be changed once it is in place and is
secondary in nature to the link being in place at all. So how about
we/you spend our time implementing this thing rather than going in
circles about the name?
