Actually I was considering (perhaps wrongly) if a url property is used, 
whatever the itemtype, there shouldn't be any other markup since it 
should be described on the target page (as long as it's on the same 
___domain). Otherwise it's just redundant informations; and in my case 
since I doesn't display the startDate, it would force me to use hidden 
properties. As for the name, I assume it should (could ?) extract it 
from the url anchor text ?

Yup, some clarifications would be helpful in this case :)
