Here's a patch to add support for the CCK Redirection module.

To Link checker, it functions exactly like the CCK Link module, except the URL value is stored in $field['value'] instead of $field['url'].

Aside, why are you not using path_redirect?

The client that we're working with wants some nodes to show up under several different menus, so we needed the redirect nodes. It doesn't make much sense to us, either ;-)

I'm sorry for not getting this in, but I do not understand the use case at all. As you do not, too - we should leave it outside. In general - I do not like to get the linkchecker project cluttered, just for including any project with no future and no current versions... I cannot follow code changes in any unpopular project.

Modules in question:
http://drupal.org/project/cck_redirection
http://drupal.org/project/field_redirection

Candidate for D8 core:
http://drupal.org/project/redirect, I suggest to use this one, but I do not know the functionality differences are. Maybe someone can explain.

If there is a real use case redirect cannot handle (functionality/usability wise), I may reconsider my decision.
