GetLink(IExecutionState, IMetadata, string, bool) Method
Gets a link for the specified metadata using the specified metadata value and the default settings from the configuration. This version should be used inside modules to ensure consistent link generation. Note that you can optionally include the host or not depending on if you want to generate host-specific links. By default, the host is not included so that sites work the same on any server including the preview server.
