>(BTW, if you're curious to how I figured this one out -- when browsing your page, I hovered the mouse over the link you mentioned, and there's a little notification that shows me the URL. Another trick is to right-click the link in question then select "Copy shortcut", then you should get the URL for the page retrieved when you click on it)
