If some javascript creates that URL, cool.

Tell you what. For the F7 and F8 get-fedora page, let's just be simple and put hardcoded links to the content, in a table format to make it clear. We can then look to do fancier things in the future. I don't want to make a bunch of MM changes at this point in the F8 release if I can avoid it.
