The forceAbsoluteUrl property is fine. However, I'm not sure about the
forceHttps, since
* it only makes sence on absolute URLs
* should only replace the real scheme of an URL (e.g. not in
"http://myhost.com/?referer=http://google.com")

Maybe it's better to use
typolink.forceAbsoluteUrl = 1
typolink.forceAbsoluteUrl.protocol = https
// protocol is http by default and could be anything else

Unfortunately this feature will not make it to TYPO3 4.3 since we're
close to the release candidate already...
