Open VBA editor (Alt-F11). In the immediate window, type the following code, replacing ‘x’ with the appropriate Slide and Shape indices:

? Application _
.ActivePresentation _
.Slides(x) _
.Shapes(x) _
.LinkFormat _
.SourceFullName

This will output the full path information to the linked media file. To change the path, such as in the case of removing full path information and leaving just the filename, use the following syntax:

Application _
.ActivePresentation _
.Slides(x) _
.Shapes(x) _
.LinkFormat _
.SourceFullName = "mediafile.mpg"

Yourli.st is a smooth, registration-free online service for sending yourself reminder e-mails. The concept for this plugin came about as I was developing my cooking website, ScreamingSaucepan.com. It occurred to me it might be nice to be able to remind myself about recipes in some way other than tagging them on del.icio.us, perhaps at a time when I might be wandering around the aisles of the grocery store. This plugin has only the most basic functionality, no administration panel, no options. It simply opens the yourli.st page and prepopulates the Event Title field with the title of the blog posting and inserts the permalink in the Event Summary. All you need to do is fill in your e-mail address, target date, and whatever other options you’d like to adjust.

I’d like to thank Alan over at YourLi.st for building this service and his positive feedback on the plugin.

I’d also like to thank Ronald Huereca for his great series How to Write a WordPress Plugin. If you have any intention of developing your own plugins for WordPress, go there immediately.

Download the plugin here.
