What is this "feature" supposed to add that isn't already available? What is the problem with using the external form? For a feature like this to be added to the viewer it has to solve a "real" problem...

It's a kind of "short-cut".


Showing the form interrupts my thinking when reading a document.
If I know that the link is external and no need to memorize, I will never tap it.
If I know that the link is external but promises, I want to keep it to memo but I
will not want to see the URL itself.
But currently there is no way except tapping the link and see the form.



Tapping on a link and not get any kind of response seems (to me at least) to be a bad UI design choice.

I agree. Just showing a framed message (like "Synchronizing documents..."
in the library form) will be enough, I think.



A little bit smarter way will be to keep extra bits for each recordId
whether the link is internal, external, or unknown.

So to support a superfluous feature we should make the rest of the code more complex; that won't happen ;-) The main objective should be to *decrease* the amount of unnecessary code, not to increase it.


I see.
