I had the same problem, and if you look at the link that the Internal Link
mechanism is creating (by right-clicking on the the link text and choosing
properties) it is linking to a content area, or other area, not to a
document. I have found a solution which is as follows:
1. Don't use the internal course link mechanism, but instead use add item.
2. In the text box for the add item switch to html.
3. Write an <a href=> link in here, using the absolute URL of the course
document that you want to link to (derive this by right-clicking on the
course document link and choosing properties).
4. Make sure, in the html, that you set the target to "_self" or it will not
appear in the right frame.
5. Bingo, you have a link to a specific course document.
This is clearly not ideal and requires some jiggery-pokery, but it does
work.

Subject: Links within courses
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to set up a course site for our Ferl Practitioners Programme
delivery, and as some of you will know, there are a number of shared
modules between strands. I have built seperate content areas for
each 'strand' (called Strand 1 through to Strand 5) and another content
area for the core modules (called Core Modules somewhat imaginatively).
Using the 'Course Link' button from within a content area I can link to
another area, or a folder within that area. For example, From my Strand 1
area I can use the 'Course Link' button to link to the Core Modules area,
and to a folder within the Core Modules area. What I don't appear to be
able to do is link to a specific document, although the screen displayed
when you form the link appears to let you select a specific document.
Has anybody else experienced this, or am i missing a trick somewhere?
Thanks
