This is exactly the type of scenario shortcodes are intended for. Simply add the following to your theme’s functions file to create the shortcode:
add_shortcode( 'this_permalink', 'this_permalink' );
function this_permalink($atts, $content){
return '<a href="'. get_the_permalink() .'">Link to this article</a>';
}
.. and use this in your post to render the link:
[this_permalink]
I cannot think though, why you would want to link to a current article, but I guess you have your reasons 🙂
