Hi Doug,

read the manual carefully again:
"
Additional typolink configuration for the links to news which are of 
type “links to internal pages” or type “external link”. With this 
setting you can override the global settings for targets in your page. 
Page id/external url parameter is loaded into “current” (TS data array).

This option has no influence on links pointing to normal news records. 
The target of these links ist configured globally for the whole page.
"

Best Regards
David
