Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Linkit is very difficult to use when trying to select a node that does not have a unique title, there is no way of telling the duplicates apart in the auto-complete field. Nodes with duplicate titles are quite common in certain scenarios, such as sites with multiple but very similarly structured sections.
Currently it requires a lot of trial and error, testing each match in turn until you find the right one. Can additional information be added to the autocomplete dropdown to help distinguish between nodes with the same title? Path alias would be great, but if that's not feasible perhaps at least the node ID could be displayed?

kirkkalaHi,
I was missing the node url alias on autocomplete suggestions to further help differentiate the node location in IA.
Attached is how I patched this change for our (huge) site.
(adding new setting to ./admin/settings/linkit and if selected displaying node path with other info on autocomplete suggestions)
If this makes sense would it be possible to add this to the next release?
(hopefully it was OK to use this old related issue for filing my suggestion)
Thanks for a great module!
