Shiftless! Linkage From Shift Lever to Trans

This morning I was parking (backing in) in the Library parking lot. missed the space slightly, shifted 'drive' went forward, (dont know which gear fwd), shifted to reverse, shifter went dead, the linkage to trans fell? off shifter. No park, no reverse no any fwd gears at all with shift lever. All I had was foward gear (drive? -1? -2?) selected. Had to shut off motor to push, (a few folks helped me), car into the parking spot. No park, no start! (parking lockout switch does not close).

Had to have the car towed home. (up on trailer)

Question: Can the link be reconnected from inside, or do I have to jack up the car & fix from under the vehicle?
Never had this problem ever.
