Using document selector in a CMS Desk's Page tab

I am trying to have content authors use the document selector (/CMSModules/Content/FormControls/Document/SelectDocument.ascx) to create links while they are editing content on the Page tab in CMS Desk.

I tried putting the user control directly on the page but the selected document wasn't getting saved to the database. I tried to put it inside a web zone but I couldnt find it inside the list of selectable controls.

Is there a control, web part or widget that can be used on the Page tab that will generate an anchor tag? Can I create a custom web part that contains the document selector and use that on the page tab?

Hi,

what is your final goal?

In case you would like to only criete links using document selector control, you can use editable text web part which has a CK editor toolbar which helps editors generate links. It has also an option to add anchors.

But in case you would like to generate only links on document which are related to the current document you can define these documents in Properties - Related doc tab. Then use Related documents web part to display links.

Best regards,
