## entries[i].link

The primary link of this entry. Most feeds use this as the permanent link to the entry in the site's archives.

If this is a relative URI, it is resolved according to a set of rules.

Some RSS feeds use `guid` when they mean `link`. `guid` can also be used as an opaque identifier that has nothing to do with links. If an RSS feed uses `guid` as the entry link and no `link` is present, Universal Feed Parser detects this and makes the `guid` available in `d.entries[i].link`.

In other words, you can always use `d.entries[i].link` to get the entry link, regardless of how the feed is actually structured.
