Default Gallery Link to another page

I would like to use the gallery images to link to another page on my site, rather than a blog post. I've set up the gallery under the category "photogallery", and then I call the images in the custom field box. This all makes sense and it works to show the image and provides a link to the post. What I would like to do is use the image to link to another page, rather than a blog post. I tried to set it up under the Write>Page section of WP...but there is no category section in which to call the "photogallery".

Is there a way to;
a: change the link so that I can leave the "fake" blog post and just link to another page?
b: change so that I utilize the plugin in the Manage>Pages section?

Does all of this make sense?

Thanks all.

A. The plugin is not designed to do what you want
B. Custom fields, which is used by the plugin, are not a component to Pages, only Posts

I realized that...but I was wondering if there was a way to make it work. I'll keep tinkering. As a side note, does anyone know of a way to utilize the "slider" in the office theme in another revolution theme? Particularly the original Revolution theme? I would like to be able to utilize the slider feature (modified) within a number of revolution templates. Any ideas, pointers, plugins? Thanks all.

I am looking into using it in a similar way and the redirection plugin http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/ should work fine without having to hack any code.

Right on...that's what I was looking for, thanks for that. I like the slider effect, but I like to use it for content with links, rather then just for pictures and posts. I guess what I'm looking for is to be able to use it for featured content, but with an emphasis on Wordpress as a CMS rather than a blogging platform. There many premium themes out there now that utilize the sliders...but many have more options as to what can be put into the slider. There is a good tutorial here: http://jqueryfordesigners.com/coda-slider-effect/, but it does not explain how to do this in Wordpress. I'll keep messing with plugins and jquery to see what else I can come up with. thanks again.
