WordPress has an add on that overcomes the "no follow" URL limitation, does Drupal have a module for that?

afaik drupal does not add "nofollow" by default. If it's on, check the settings at admin/settings/filters/1/configure and uncheck the option if checked.

Hello and thank you

however when I go to that admin page there is nothing about dofollow/nofollow? Except for
Spam link deterrent
If enabled, Drupal will add rel="nofollow" to all links, as a measure to reduce the effectiveness of spam links. Note: this will also prevent valid links from being followed by search engines, therefore it is likely most effective when enabled for anonymous users.

Which is unchecked anyway? (tried checking it too, just in case..)

I have Spam link deterrent turned off at admin/settings/filters/1/configure but links are still nofollowed, e.g. here http://guaka.org/2009/10/26/hitchwiki-everywhere

I found it, it's part of Fusion Core. I overrode it in my subtheme:

/**                                                                                                                                         
 * Username override                                                                                                                        
 * Hides or shows username '(not verified)' text                                                                                            
 */
function prosper_subtheme_username($object) {
  if ((!$object->uid) && $object->name) {
    $output = (!empty($object->homepage)) ? l($object->name, $object->homepage) : check_plain($object->name);
    $output .= (theme_get_setting('user_notverified_display') == 1) ? t(' (not verified)') : '';
  }
  else {
    $output = theme_username($object);
  }
  return $output;
}

I'd love to be able to control this on the level of node type and comments... Blog posts, pages and stories can be expected to have valuable links, forum posts a lot less and comments and signatures the least.

I find the extlink module a bit silly... it is so easy to add the image using CSS on the anchor tag, and not a separate span, in order to have it included in the link itself. I also added a hover image in the same color as my link color and added CSS so that the image cannot be wrapped to the next line. I guess I will look for a better alternative.

You can do so by controlling input formats to be used with the better formats module on http://drupal.org/project/better_formats
