Using Products in Generic Links and Rich Text

Active Commerce handles links to product items for all e-commerce scenarios (product browsing, related products, cart, etc), but what if you want to link to a product item elsewhere in your content, such as a Generic Link or in Rich Text?

Since products use a custom resolver to create the url (see related article), linking to a product item requires special handling.

Luckily, it's easy to accomplish this with a custom Sitecore LinkProvider. Have a look at the example on our GitHub site for details on how to do this.
