Numpty Facebook question... any help appreciated.

When typing directly into the website, if I begin to type the name of a "friend" then the site starts to offer completions, I select one, and the name becomes a clickable link to the correct person.

Other people's status updates include clickable links to events which look as if they're done in the same way... but I am never offered completions in this way for events/other non-person things.

So... how do I include a link to an event? Is there any way to include a link to a person other than that described above, because the auto-complete seems a bit shonky? I assume there's some mechanism that doesn't involve typing in real live HTML.

(Advanced question: how do I include such links, either to people or events, when posting via Tweetdeck? But I'll worry about that one later...)

Proper write-up of DERT later, for anyone who's interested.

I'm afraid I'm out of my depth now! But this similar example:

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10100203327322580&l=9639694e36

Has "Wimpole Hall and Home Farm" as the location, FWIW. Which you add by clicking on the little map-pin icon and starting to type - you can add a location to the whole album or to just one picture. And I'm not sure how it decides what counts as a location I'm afraid!
