When we define a normal link in ServiceStudio, without defining it's name, couldn't it be generated without a HTML id?
Those id's tend to be somewhat large, tipically something like 'wt17_wtMainContent_wtNewsItemTable_ctl08_wt7'. We use a lot of this links in table records and list records - widgets that multiply the results, where we endup generating a lot of text, in the markup, that we don't really need.
