Separate styles for in-site links and external links

planned

Please consider the ability to set separate styles for in-site and external links.

in-site links are those that will keep the user within the current web-site, while external links will take the user to some other web-site altogether.

Gajendra Singh Dhir I also have a relative link to a single page app that is hosted on the same domain but I want that external link icon and I cannot put icon with the relative path link. I am forced to use the full url
