If there is a real need for this we can add object/embed support that allows checking external URLs for embedded flash objects. Only the link extract regex need to be extended and we may need to add an option checkbox.

Example:

<object width="480" height="295">
  <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/foo&amp;hl=de&amp;fs=1"/>
  <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/>
  <embed width="480" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/foo&amp;hl=de&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"/>
</object>

See the patch attached. It's missing the 301 auto-update part we need to fix #451456: 301 auto-update could break links.

This patch works with youtube embeddings and others, but is missing object tag link extraction. Therefore it does not really extract object links and not the link in param name=movie. I'm not sure how we can do this in a general manner. Object tag could have URLs in archive, codebase and usemap, but param everywhere in value!?

@fralenuvol: Than you very for this important hint. I've reworked all this stuff and committed a re-worked patch with many more features.

#427906, #417354: Extract links from various configurable HTML tags (a|area|img|iframe|object|param|embed)
