In class.browse_links.php I find this hook:

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTCONF']['rtehtmlarea']['browseLinksHook']

Doesn't look right even if technically the hooks are related (and could 
possibly be served by the same function).

We could add a special function (still a hook in the TYPO3 sense?) that 
handles browseLinks. Maybe a fine thing for alternative RTE extensions and 
other custom links wizards. But currently hooks are tied (with a reason) to 
the script/class they belong to.
