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.

Bloomin' 'eck. In an attempt to be down with the kids, I have bravely attempted to interact with the Facebook page that an ex-member created for my dance team. She told me the password when she left, but every time I've logged in, I've immediately run away screaming.

Today I have boldly grasped the nettle, accepted some friend requests, updated my status, and even commented and liked some stuff. Holy crap, it's confusing.

Also: Usenet had cracked comment-threading well over two decades ago. Why do we still have to put up with an impenetrable jumble of comments? It's like the Ancient Brits deciding when the Romans left that they didn't want any truck with this foreign-fangled central heating nonsense, thank you very much.
