[TYPO3-english] tt_news ###LINK_ITEM### marker - external links

[Lamb, Brian]

Hello all, 

I have the following template for a tt_news listing:

<!-- ###TEMPLATE_LIST### begin
	This is the template for the list of news in the archive or news page or search
-->
  <div class="news-list-container">
    ###NEWS_CATEGORY_ROOTLINE###
    <!-- ###CONTENT### begin
        This is the part of the template substituted with the list of news: 
    -->
      <!-- ###NEWS### begin
        Template for a single item 
      -->
        <div class="news-list-item">
          <div class="news-list-item-left"><!--###LINK_ITEM###-->###NEWS_IMAGE###<!--###LINK_ITEM###--></div>
          <div class="news-list-item-right">
            <!--###LINK_ITEM###-->###NEWS_TITLE###<!--###LINK_ITEM###-->
            ###NEWS_SUBHEADER###
          </div>
        </div>
      <!-- ###NEWS### end-->
    <!-- ###CONTENT###  end -->
    <div class="news-list-browse">###BROWSE_LINKS###</div>
  </div>
<!-- ###TEMPLATE_LIST### end -->

I am having an issue specifically with external tt_news items. The ###NEWS_TITLE### is linked correctly but the ###NEWS_IMAGE### takes me to page that displays the icon corresponding to the ###NEWS_IMAGE### marker. Additionally, if I right click on the ###NEWS_IMAGE### icon and select open in new window/tab, it works correct. Has anyone encountered this?
