Tridion Favorites - ability to rename favorite links

Question

I am using Tridion 2011. And I am looking for a way to let users rename the favorite links. Adding a component, folder etc to favorites is straight forward but is there way to let users rename those favorite links?

Answer 1

Out of the box it is not possible to rename the favorite link differently than the original item.

The link is internally maintained by TCM, so the name is always shared.

Your best bet would be to develop a GUI extension, that maintains a list of alternative names for the links, but seems like a lot of work for such a small feature.
