I admit i have never tried it before. Now i did and it doesn't work for me.

according to https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21278 and
after reading through the source code i thought the syntax should be
something like this.

{{** [http://mydomain.com/gallery/ Photo gallery]}}

But it didn't work out. It simply didn't show up.
It would be very nice if Platonides could give us an example.

Anyway i think the fact that the sidebar doesn't take care of
$wgExternalLinkTarget is worth a bug report.
