Internal relative links in Menu by using http:/alias/path/to/link In Drupal 7.22, I would like to link create an additional link to an existing node from with in a menu. This target node already has an alias and its own menu entry. I'd like to create an additional link to that node. I thought the method would be to enter the url as http:/alias/path/to/link. However, this seems to fail. 

If you notice from the devel_themer output that the path contains http:/contact. My hope that this link resolves to http://mysite/contact.
You should be able to go to /admin/structure/menu, select the menu you wish to add the link to, and list links. At the top select Add link and enter the title and link. You can use either the alias or system path. Then on the list, place the new menu item where you want it. It should not overwrite the existing menu entry.

Do not prefix the links with http:.
