"link_text" in a Tag

njbooher, that right. I will take a look at this.

I have commited a fix for this.

Its only like 3 lines changed.

Here is the "new" insertLink function
/linkit/editors/cheditor/plugin.js

  function insertLink(params, editor) {
    this.fakeObj = false;
    var link_text = params.link_text;
    delete  params.link_text;
    var selection = editor.getSelection(),
    ranges = selection.getRanges(),
    element = null;

    // Fill in all the relevant fields if there's already one link selected.
    if (ranges.length == 1) {
      
      var rangeRoot = ranges[0].getCommonAncestor(true);
      element = rangeRoot.getAscendant('a', true);
      
      if(element && element.getAttribute('href')) {
        selection.selectElement(element);
      }
      else if((element = rangeRoot.getAscendant('img', true)) && element.getAttribute('_cke_real_element_type') && element.getAttribute('_cke_real_element_type') == 'anchor') {
        this.fakeObj = element;
        element = editor.restoreRealElement(this.fakeObj);
        selection.selectElement(this.fakeObj);
      }
      else
        element = null;
    }
    
    // Record down the selected element in the dialog.
		this._.selectedElement = element;
    
    if ( !this._.selectedElement ) {
      // Create element if current selection is collapsed.
      var selection = editor.getSelection(), ranges = selection.getRanges();
      
      if ( ranges.length == 1 && ranges[0].collapsed ) {
        var text = new CKEDITOR.dom.text( link_text, editor.document );
        ranges[0].insertNode( text );
        ranges[0].selectNodeContents( text );
        selection.selectRanges( ranges );
      }

      // Insert into editor
      var style = new CKEDITOR.style( { element : 'a', attributes : params } );
      style.type = CKEDITOR.STYLE_INLINE;
      style.apply( editor.document );
    }
    else {
      
      // We're only editing an existing link, so just overwrite the attributes.
      var element = this._.selectedElement;

      // IE BUG: Setting the name attribute to an existing link doesn't work.
      // Must re-create the link from weired syntax to workaround.
      if (CKEDITOR.env.ie && params.name != element.getAttribute('name')) {

        var newElement = new CKEDITOR.dom.element('<a name="' + CKEDITOR.tools.htmlEncode( params.name ) + '">', editor.document);

        selection = editor.getSelection();

        element.moveChildren(newElement);
        element.copyAttributes(newElement, { name : 1 });
        newElement.replace(element);
        element = newElement;

        selection.selectElement(element);
      }

      var removeAttributes = ['target', '_cke_pa_onclick', '_cke_saved_href', 'onclick', 'title', 'id', 'class', 'rel', 'accesskey'];

      // Remove all attributes so we can update them
      element.removeAttributes(removeAttributes);

      // Set params from form
      element.setAttributes(params);
     
      if (this.fakeObj) {
        editor.createFakeElement(element, 'cke_anchor', 'anchor').replace(this.fakeObj);
      }
      delete this._.selectedElement;
    }
  }
