Store Direct Path when using Media Selection Control

Hi,

We're using the Media selection control to allow users to upload images into the pages. Client prefers all the images to be reusable and accessed via the media library.

We've set this up and found that when we access the field, it gives the permanent URL (/getmedia/{GUID}) to the image instead of the direct URL (/{site-name}/media/{library-name}}. For SEO purposes, it's preferable that we use the direct, readable URL.

I've done my research and found this old thread. It mentions disabling Use permanent URLs under Site Manager -> Settings -> Media libraries. But I just can't find this setting.

I checked the official docs to see if it's a real setting and sure enough, it's mentioned.. up until Kentico 12. The page header mentions "This page is only available for the Portal Engine development model"

We've upgraded our website to Kentico 13 so I'm guessing that's why I can't find that setting.

1. Is there a way to disable the use of permanent URLs?
2. If not, is it possible to store the direct URL to the database instead of the permanent URL when using the Media selection control?

Would really appreciate any guidance!
