  I would think a text widget with links to those posts would do what you are looking to do. Unless I am misunderstanding?

  How then do I put a link into the text widget? I’ve tried copying all sorts of things and they don’t translate into a hyperlink.

  You would need to use HTML.

  For example, this HTML

  <a href="https://www.google.com/">Click for Google</a>

  Would make the link Click for Google

  There is an introduction to HTML written by a WordPress.com blogger here:
