[TYPO3-core] RFC: #4911: No function for adding alternative external URL for other languages

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey Francois,

thanks for your comment & testing.

I agree, but right now, the fields are necessary to have a complete and 
independant link. In the long term, I'd like to get rid of the "urltype" 
and "target" fields completely (in both DB tables) to merge it into one 
single field with a link browser, similar to this extension:
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/jb_external_typolink/current/

greetings,
benni.
