vf email template - detail Link

Question

In HTML email template, we can use {!Lead.Link} option to access the url inside salesforce.

But i found this {!Lead.Link} can't be used in vf email template. I tried using {!relatedTO.Link}. But this shows error as:

Invalid field Link for SObject Lead

Any idea like how to get this field accessed in vf email template.

I don't know if there is a "clean" way to do this. But this seems to be a fairly popular hack:

<a href="{!LEFT($Api.Partner_Server_URL_280, FIND(".com/",$Api.Partner_Server_URL_280)+3)}/{!relatedTo.Id}">
    {!relatedTo.Name}
</a>

In apex there's URL.toExternalForm() call available but it would mean your VF email template needs to use a component (and that component would have the apex class as controller). Not worth the effort I'd say...

Have you tried this: Link : <a href="{!RelatedTo.Link}">{!relatedTo.Link}</a><br/>

{!relatedTo.Link} won't work in VF email templates.

these links dont seem to be picked up by the salesforce mobile app...hard to row in one direction.
