It should work with any properly coded plugin, so, I’m certain jetpack will work just fine too.
Yep, I have the selective permalink on my feature request list … In one respect that is already enabled, but only at the shortcode instance level. Running the latest cMap with the latest Connections there’s a new shortcode option that is enabled; “link”. If you add link=false to the shortcode, that instance will override the settings and disable the name link. however, that detail page is going to become far more important in the months to come… :-)
A similar new shortcode option is “lock”. When set in the shortcode, lock=true, that shortcode instance will be unaffected by by any query made by other instances of the shortcode on the same page. Useful for showing specific entries or categories that you don’t want to change when, lets say, a search is performed.
I know you really want an additional text field, both of the bio and notes fields do support shortcodes so why not use a tab shortcode to show multiple tabs in those fields?
