Change no results behavior of the result of a link generated from a view
OK!  So after hours of research and playing around in my views, I figured out that the problem was I was having the individual links go to the Taxonomy page for that term.  I turned that off and re-wrote the results of each link to be the term: Name instead of that term's url alias.  I got rid of all my URL aliases for the terms.  I also added a second view that used the term and node relationship and a term: Name contextual filter, and added the custom no results behavior I wanted on that view.

In the end my URLs are not as clean since spaces and ampersands are converted to html escape characters, like "%26", but at least I have a no results behavior I want.
