Link to Item in Resources section using Authoring Tool

I need to figure out how to link to an item in the resources section. I have found the HTML code to do this with the glossary (<a href=’#’ data-glossaryterm=’sinusitis’>sinusitis</a>) but am unsure how to do this with resources.
 
Any help you can provide would be great!
 

I am working in the Authoring tool.

  • Authoring tool version 0.10.5
  • Framework version 5.12.1

You can't do quite the same thing with the resources i.e. click a link and have it open the resources 'drawer' to show that item. However, since most of the items listed in the resources are typically just links to URLs or files you can just create a link to the same URL/File. If it's a file, the only issue is finding out what the file name is, that's explained in this answer.

Yes I looked at that article. What we are trying to do is keep external links in one location. That way if anything changes, we only have to go to the Resources section to change that. I suppose I could put those links in the glossary and then it functions the same and allows us to keep all links in one place.
