[Typo3] External URL in menu

[Martin Kindler]

Claudio,

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago. I wanted to add dynamically
parameters to the (real) URL of an external URL page.
I found the following mailing list entry helpful, especially the answer by
Marlies:
http://typo3.com/documentation/mailing-lists/english-main-list-archive/threa
d/56886/?tx_maillisttofaq_pi1%5Bmode%5D=1&tx_maillisttofaq_pi1%5Bsword%5D=Ex
ternal%20URL&tx_maillisttofaq_pi1%5Banswered_only%5D=0&tx_maillisttofaq_pi1%
5Bpointer%5D=1

She gives a solution to add any wrapping to a menu item. The bad point is
that her solution only works for complete menus. Therefore I had to split my
menu in several parts, but it works.
