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?

The front-end-based local "Insert>Hyperlink… " works fine if the notebooks remain in their original folders. Moving them to another folder apparently breaks the local links because they use an absolute file-path.

The method with the inline Hyperlink-commands circumvents this by permitting to use a relative file-path. I didn't find an equivalent method using the front-end. Thus it may be possible to move a set of interlinked notebooks while conserving the functionality of the links.

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

Dialog box
