I have a page called `en.md` and another page called `ko.md` in a directory. Both files have custom-set permalinks, so `en.md` and `ko.md` respectively are not a part of the page URL. Regardless of this setting, to move from `en.md` to `ko.md` in normal HTML, all I would need to do is this :

```auto
<a href="ko.md">Move to File KO</a>

```

However, this doesn’t seem to work in Jekyll; this link sends me straight to URL `.../ko.md`, where there is no file (because of that permalink setting), rendering my link unusable. Is there a way to link to a specific **file** instead of just permalinks in Jekyll-processed HTML? Thank you!

there never will be a .md file as they get changed to html (assuming they have front matter).

You will need the actual url to move to the correct page - are you not able to do that for some reason?

at one point with posts there was a way to link to a particular post using the filename (?) so that the link worked no matter what the permalink was but that was only for posts and I am not sure that works still.

Jekyll has tags you can use to link directly to other source files. There is `post_url` when linking to posts. And `link` when linking to other documents.

> All of the standard Liquid tags are supported. Jekyll has a few built in tags to help you build your site. You can also create your own tags using plugins.
