It really is amazing what a few drinks, a joking comment from quicksketch, and a late night can do. Wrote a redirection formatter for link fields. Whenever the field is rendered with this formatter, drupal_goto() will redirect the user off to the destination site, no questions asked. This means you can click on the title of a node with just such a field in it, and the user will be redirected to the destination without seeing the node page itself. The formatter is two lines of functional code, and forty lines of sanity checking to make sure accidentally sticking such a node into a sidebar block or listing it in a view will not render your site unusable. There is really no sane excuse for the level of elaborate error checking it employs -- I find myself hoping that people misconfigure their sites just to see how helpful the code is. We used globals for you, people. GLOBALS. Also, one of the two actual functional lines exposes the new hook_link_clickthrough, making it possible to implement detailed clickthrough tracking via CCK fields. Ewoks rule.
