The code introduced to TYPO3 8.7 breaks a use-case of mine. I'm not sure if it is valid, so I hope someone can help me validate:

(Simplified) situation: TYPO3 8.7 site with two languages German (default, 0) and English (1).

I want to create a link to a site that is configured to be hidden in the Default language (l18n_cfg = 1). Obviously, I want to create a link to the English version of this page.

This is my code:

$targetUri = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->cObj->typoLink_URL(
    [
        'parameter' => 777,
        'additionalParams' => '&L=1',
        'forceAbsoluteUrl' => true,
    ]
);

Now, PageLinkBuilder->build fetches the page with ID 777. At this point, it does not do a language overlay because the link is generated on a German page.

Therefore, the code introduced sets $language = 0; because there is no _PAGES_OVERLAY field in the record. So this leads the exception introduced with this change:

$language = empty($page['_PAGES_OVERLAY']) ? 0 : $page['_PAGES_OVERLAY_LANGUAGE'];
if ($language === 0 && GeneralUtility::hideIfDefaultLanguage($page['l18n_cfg'])) {
    throw new UnableToLinkException('Default language of page  "' . $linkDetails['typoLinkParameter'] . '" is hidden, so "' . $linkText . '" was not linked.', 1529527301, null, $linkText);
}

So it seems I cannot build an URL from the default language to a site that only exists in a non-default language.

Georg or Nicole, can you confirm this? Should this be possible or not?
