Hi,

the patch is done, and Shortcut / external URL is left as they are without 
changes.
This might be the best for the users as they are used to the terms.

The only thing i would change is to have such additional properties to 
external url like
* link target
* get-params

sure, get-params could be used in url, but with extra field it would be 
possible to manipulate them through TS.
