How do you hyperlink to a cell in a local notebook in 12.3?

The simple dialog boxes that made it easy to select cells in local notebooks as targets for hyperlinks seems to have disappeared in version 12.3. How is this now done most conveniently?

Thanks. The simple dialog box was restored in versions 13 and 14. Just select the text you want to use as the link, type [CommandKey] [Shift] H. Dialog box lets you choose the target for the link: Web, same notebook, different notebook. Then, if the target cell within the notebook has been tagged, you can select it

Up to now I have used the following procedure – still wondering if there can be found an easier way:

Position insertion-line on link-place within the (text-) cell of the notebook.

Type ctrl-9 to produce inline cell.

Enter Hyperlink-expression into inline-cell:

Hyperlink["text to be shown",{"HyperlinkTarget.nb","targettag"}]

(be sure the inline cell content is selected) then menu-draw "Evaluation>Evaluate in place" or Ctrl+Shift+Return

The (text-)cell with the hyperlink text "text to be shown" should be working. (Mathematica 14.2)
