This module seems to have the basis allowing a global redirection feature, by which all links leaving the site could be modified to go through a "jumpstation": a page with a disclaimer warning the user that they are leaving the site (and its editorial responsibility), and allowing them to proceed forward or return to the sending page.

I think it would be a useful feature to have, while the code is still in a state of flux.

Example. On the DARPA GrandChallenge team page, clicking on the Stanford team produces such a page:
http://www.grandchallenge.org/leaving.html?url=http://www.stanfordracing...

I like this idea, and in fact it would be useful on a couple of my own sites as well.

Consider the concept suggested, though my first priority right now is to get the module converted for 4.7. Thanks to Eaton, I'm not working alone on that. I know how to do the jumpstation function, and I think it wouldn't be too hard to build.

Thanks for a great idea, and one that I think will become a popular feature.

We have some apis for this already in place, please introduce a hook, to let modules alter stuff on the goto pages.

Ber, can you provide a reference URL for where the existing APIs are? Are they in your weblinks module, or somewhere else? Thanks.

weblinks will be dropped after 4.6 and will live on in this links bundle
