Question

it is their way

Doing it their way,和I send a warm wish their way,其中的“their way"前面为什么没有介词?
请给出依据,也就是证明资料,仅仅是自己的推测就不来了,我知道可能前面省略了“in",但是没有相关的文本依据.

你好.没人回复你,就我来吧.
Lingoes上的朗文词典有这么几条注释,希望对你有所帮助.
1. 词组：in the same way/in different ways etc
例句：Make the drink with boiling water in the same way as tea.
　 Animals communicate in various ways.
总结：way之前用in乃天经地义.
2. 词组：(in) the right/wrong way
　 例句：I think you're going about this the wrong way.
总结：我的老天,way前面不要in了,不过,这是词典上这么说的,很权威哟.
3. 词组：(in) this/that way
　 例句：I find it easier to work in this way (=like this).
　 Sorry, I didn't know you felt that way (=had that feeling or opinion).
　 The drugs didn't seem to affect Anna in the same way.
总结：way前面的in可有可无,例句1和3有,2没有.
然后我再给你摘录几个柯林斯词典上的例句和注释.
1. I also used to love the smooth way in which the foreigner operated. 这句是从句,用了in which.
2. I hate the way he manipulates people. 我讨厌他摆布别人.这句in which都没了.词典的解释是这样的：If you mention the way that something happens, you are mentioning the fact that it happens. 反正就是the way后面直接接个句子都可以呢.想想the minute充当连词的情况,我给你举个例子：The baby began to cry the minute he saw the tiger.
如果你看完了还没懂的话,可以追问.
对了,没直接回答你的问题.不过,你可以看看这个解释和例句. If you go your own way, you do what you want rather than what everyone else does or expects. 这里的go one's own way就是“按自己的意愿行事”.
例句：In school I was a loner. I went my own way. 在学校里我独来独往,我行我素.
