TYPO3 Core

This is, although slightly hard to know, actually by design. When you render templates from inside a Widget, the entire context changes and this is completely on purpose.

To work around this, make sure you add all of the necessary parameters in your `f:link.action` - extensionName, moduleName, controller, action; the full monty. It will still only generate a link that's valid in the backend, but it will do so with the right scope variables.

Frontend-compatible link generation from the backend (in a Widget or outside) is another story altogether which requires extensive emulation and is outside the area of the TYPO3 core.

Setting to "resolved" because it's by design and has a workaround.
