Include Dynamic Links in 3rd Generation Editor

Creating dynamic links is REQUIRED in 3rd generation editor in order to adequately personalize email campaigns.  Otherwise, the only other option is to look for a different service.  As well as HTML editing.  If this is not updated soon, I may have to look for a service that better meets my needs

It's extremely frustrating that you do not support dynamic links, either through the normal editor or advanced html editor.  This makes it impossible to have a customer click a link in the email and move themselves to a different link (I can't even send them back to my site without then forcing them to login, the create an email list change page...this is a terrible experience).

 

Ideally allowing us to create a link in the editor where we can insert a string and a contact variable would be ideal, but simply allowing us to store a link as a custom field and then referencing that field ($Subscriber.custom.CustomField1..2..3, etc) in a <a href> tag in the advanced editor would work.

Any update on whether this will become available in the 4th generation editor?  Without this feature, we may be forced to go with a different vendor.
