Looks pretty cool!

"Anker" is called "anchor" in english. But it might be more intuitive to
call it "getATag()", what do you think?

Looks nice. Maybe "getUrl()"?

If this is related to TS-typolink "parameter", I would also call it
"parameter" as it might be misleading to have two different names for
the same thing. An external Url might not be a "page" and an
Email-Adress is definitively not a "page".

Nice start. I think I would be using that. I'm bored of having to use
TypoScript arrays to describe my links while doing a PHP-plugin.

In the constructor, you might want to pass a reference to a cObject,
instead of making a new one based on the passed class. As a Plugin I
already have a valid cObject which I could just pass to the ect_link
constructor.
