MODX: How to insert links to other resources in TinyMCE


Am I missing something? When inserting links to other resources, it seems like there should be a "resource picker" that auto inserts the [[~id]] tag for internal links. Is such a "picker" available from the TinyMCE editor in MODX Revolution?

I mean I don't mind using the resource syntax, but I don't see my users being comfortable having to learn and remember it.

When I click on the "Insert/edit link" button, this is the dialog I get:

Clicking on the "Browse" button to the right of "Link Url" gives me the following dialog:

I don't see anything that allows me to pick a resource.

I'm using MODX Revolution 2.2.1-pl (traditional) on IIS 7.5. There could be a possible issue there.
