Does anyone know the best way to make Links open up in Lightbox?

Pretend you are on a site like http://www.digg.com and the titles of each node take you to another website.

What would be the best way to enable this in Drupal?

Also, say there are 10 stories per page. Clicking Link #1 and opening in Lightbox, would also give you the "Arrow option" to move to the next link, just like it does for pictures. Any ideas?

Assuming that you have already installed the lightbox v2 module, this is the way to open any image in your site with lightbox :

<a href="http://yoursite.com/image.png" rel="lightbox" title="a title here">text to be linked here</a>

or you can just add an image inside the <a> tag like

<a href="http://yoursite.com/image.png" rel="lightbox" title="a title here"><img src="http://yoursite.com/image_smaller.png"></img></a>

I hope I understood what you wanted.

Thanks! Close... but not trying to open up Images. I'm trying to find out how to open up External Links.
