[Resolved] Custom taxonomy term links with wpv-post-taxonomy

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to list the taxonomy terms associated with a post, and format them as links. However, when I use the wpv-post-taxonomy shortcode to display links, the URLs point to the term archive. I would like to link to a custom post URL instead, where the post slug matches the term slug.

Solution: Assuming the Brand term slugs and their corresponding Tour Operator post slugs are identical, you can do this by replacing the wpv-post-taxonomy shortcode with a View of the Brand Taxonomy. Add a Query Filter, filtered by term, where the term is set by the current post in the loop. In the Loop Output of this View you can construct link tags using a combination of HTML and Views Shortcodes, like this:

<a href="/tour-operator/[wpv-taxonomy-slug]">[wpv-taxonomy-title]</a>

Hi,
I have the following View on the homepage, hidden link
<div class="repost"><h3><a href="[wpv-post-field name="wprss_item_permalink"]">[wpv-post-title]</a></h3>
<p>[wpv-post-taxonomy type="brand" separator=", " format="link" show="name" order="asc"]</p></div>

This is listing recent posts in a CPT called Repost that has a Brand Taxonomy. This taxonomy is listing the brand. However, this brand is also the same as a CPT called Tour Operator. What I would like to do is have the Brand link to the Tour Operator page. For example, on this link:
The Other Face of Molokai
UnCruise Adventures

Uncruise Adventures will link to hidden link NOT, hidden link as it is doing now.

How can I do this?
Thanks!

We have some shortcode documentation available here for your reference:
