## Discussion

You can create links to articles using the publisher’s article identifier. See `identifier` in [`ArticleDocument`](/documentation/AppleNewsFormat/ArticleDocument). The publisher’s article identifier maps to `articleId` for all articles.

If the current article and the linked article belong to the same channel, use `publisher-article://<article id>`.

If the linked article references a different channel, use `publisher-article://<channel id>/<article id>`.
