Is it possible to set up a term list so that if someone clicks on a term it goes to an external site?

I have a set of team members that have multiple sponsors. Many of the members have the same sponsors.

While using a custom content type/taxonomy field I would like a content admin to be able to select from a list of sponsors from a dropdown menu and have the sponsor/sponsor link added to the page.

I was thinking I could hack it into the term by placing the url in the description field

Create a Vocabulary called "External Links"

Add Terms to this Vocabulary and Associate a link with it. (e.g. term:example, description:http://example.com)

Any clues?

Haven't run into this problem myself, but have you tried using CCK textfield (with select list widget type) rather than taxonomy? Just a thought and could save you some time if it works.

Otherwise you could create template pages for the taxonomy terms and use drupal_goto (http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_goto/5) but this would take more time than the first idea (if that works!)
