Hi,
I would like to create a link in the post body which contains a Type custom field, the current page name and its url as parameters.

As an example, to pass these parameters from "Start Page" to "End Page", I would insert this link to the "Start Page" post body:

The Toolset shortcodes generator allows me to sanitize the post name, but how do I sanitize the custom field?
Is it also possible to encode the url?

Thanks

Best
