[Using Sakai] Assignment URLs in a lessons page?

[Matthew Jones]

Right, that feature was an experimental (entity picker) was an experimental
contrib component and it stopped working when nobody updated the plugin for
CKEditor in 2.9. The big reason nobody did any work on that is because the
entire interface for picking (files and other resources) was rewritten for
Sakai 10 so that feature will be back again in that version.
