[Using Sakai] Portable links to tools

Hello,
In a prototype website for a course I'm teaching this fall, I have
designed a web page to act as a home page and portal. The page resides
in "Resources/Web" and has links to other web pages that reside in this
directory and its subdirectories. Since I use relative paths, this
presents no problem.
However, the page also needs to have links to various Sakai tools, such
as the course calendar and discussion board. As such, I have two questions:
1. What's the best way to obtain the URL's for such tools? Can one
simply open the tool in a browser and copy the path from the
browser's address field? Or, is there a better method?
2. These links have to be portable. In other words, when copying the
web page from the prototype site (a project worksite) to the
production site (a course worksite), the links have to point to
the respective tools in the course worksite rather than to the
tools in the original, project worksite used to design the course.
Does Sakai have something like relative addresses for this
purpose? Is there a better way to address this problem?
Thanks very much.
