[TYPO3] Full URL in menu links

NO {
    doNotLinkIt = 1
    stdWrap.typolink {
        parameter.dataWrap =
http://www.yourdomain.tld/index.php?id={TSFE:id}
    }
}

Disadvantage: Since external URLs are recognized based on http:// you won't
get the linkVars processed automatically. So you might try to add at least
the current parameters of a page like this (don't know if it works though)

NO {
    doNotLinkIt = 1
    stdWrap.typolink {
        parameter.dataWrap =
http://www.yourdomain.tld/index.php?id={TSFE:id}
        addQueryString = 1
    }
}
or you can try to wrap the a-tag inluciding the domain around the URL after
creating it like this:

NO {
    doNotLinkIt = 1
    stdWrap.override.cObject = TEXT
    stdWrap.override.cObject {
        field = title
        outerWrap.cObject = COA
        outerWrap.cObject {
            10 = TEXT
            10.value = <a href="http://www.yourdomain.tld/
            20 = TEXT
            20 {
                typolink {
                    parameter.data = TSFE:id
                    returnLast = URL
                }
            }
            30 = TEXT
            30.value = " class="menulink">|</a>
        }
    }
}

Should be enough to choose from ;-)
