I have actual and digital copies of both Shadow of the Dragon Queen which I am currently running F2F and now my new 2024 Monster Manual. Is there anyway to have it so the link in the module points to the actual entry in the Monster Manual for those more generic monsters not in the module appendix?
I do not believe that D&D will be updating the hyperlinks in old published books to link to the new 2025 MM.
That seems like it would take a bit of work, and there are a LOT of people that are still running 2014 only and do not want to change over yet.
If you are running a 2014 Adventure (like SotDQ), they anticipate that you would be using 2014 Character Creation and 2014 Monsters.
This is just my opinion based off of conversations here in the Forums and what has been stated by Devs about running 2014/2024.
Now, with that said...
If you are only using the HTML version online, I can't help you, but if you wanted, you can print the adventure as a PDF, then in a PDF editor, change the hyperlinks yourself, so when you click on them, it takes you to the 2024 Monster version. This would still be running the adventure through the computer like a HTML version, just formatted a little different.
Just a suggestion :)
Cheers!

Breathe, dragons; sing of the First World, forged out of chaos and painted with beauty. Sing of Bahamut, the Platinum, molding the shape of the mountains and rivers; Sing too of Chromatic Tiamat, painting all over the infinite canvas. Partnered, they woke in the darkness; partnered, they labored in acts of creation.

you’d also have the issue that monsters in the new MM would be in the 2024 format/balance, but monsters included in that DL pub would still be in the 2014 format/balance (because there is no 2024 version). It’d just create more mess.
Thank you - I assume all modules from now on will have 2024 links and compatibility. To be fair there is very little incompatibility with 2024 DMG/PHB in the module. Hopefully they may return to Krynn for a future module.

It wouldn't make much of a difference at most tables.
