Expose link's HTML attributes to views [#1121092]

I need to be able to get the target attribute of a link field, so that I can apply it to another field I chose to "render as a link". To do that, I exposed a field to views : "link's attributes", where it is possible to choose wich attribute to fetch (title, rel, target).
Patch is attached.

Regards,
David

And here is the patch for those using drush_make (see #745224: Apply patches from git diff and git format-patch, git patches are not supported yet).

This new patch adds an necessay hook_update_N to update the existing link fields definition, to reflect the news views compatibility.

I have applied #2 with success...

Anyone else can test and please commit it to the last dev. This is an awesome feature for the module!

Thanks for the code! @:)

Just as a note... I needed this feature, so I tried (luckily on a test site) to apply the patch in #2 to the current Link module. It didn't quite apply, but when I modified the patch so it would apply, it completely broke the existing link Views integration, and now no links (much less attributes) are working in Views.

So I wouldn't recommend using this patch.
