 Description   

mgnl.createLink() seems to be the proper way to add links to your template. Unfortunately when you need a link with a selector (e.g. /link/to/my/page.with.3.selectors.html), you're out of luck since createLink() always appends ".html" to the link. You would have to remove the extension, add the selectors and append the extension back to the link (= ugly hack). It would be better to have createLink methods where you can also provide the extension, or if set to null or "" no extension is added at all.

Given the thousands of other issues we have open that are more highly requested, we won't be able to address this issue in the foreseeable future. Instead we will focus on issues with a higher impact, and more votes.
Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue. As you are no doubt aware this issue has been on our backlog for some time now with very little movement.
I'm going to close this to set expectations so the issue doesn't stay open for years with few updates. If the issue is still relevant please feel free to reopen it or create a new issue.
