In a freemarker template, we leverage a resource bundle by including:  
`<@hst.setBundle basename="my-bundle-id"/>`

We can create a clickable link to a document via:  
`<div class="has-edit-button"><@hst.manageContent hippobean=document/></div>`

However, `hst.manageContent` wants a bean instead of a bundle ID. Are there any existing/built-in methods to help direct an author from a page to the corresponding resource bundle document?

Hi @itGumby,

Perhaps you can _query_ a `HippoBean` by the bundle id (“my-bundle-id”) in the component first and pass it to the template, and then you can use the `HippoBean` object for the tag.
