I don't think this is worthwhile, unfortunately, even though I can see why you
might want it.
There's no point in changing the url to the geofabrik server, without also
changing the title and the description. It's a specific company with a specific
url, it's not a generalised service.
It's also worth noting that the overpass link isn't generic - the UI adds
location information to that url, in an overpass-specific format, and that
doesn't happen for the other urls.
I guess in theory a third-party installation of this codebase could have a list
of their own 4 alternative download locations, and just change the titles,
descriptions and urls for each of them to something else (and ignore the names
in the keys). Something like
```yaml
planet:
title: "Planet OpenExampleSite"
description: "Regularly-updated copies of the complete OpenExampleSite
database"
overpass:
title: "OverSomething API"
description: "Download this bounding box from a mirror of the
OpenExampleSite database"
geofabrik:
title: "Some other location"
description: "Some other description"
...
```
But there's no guarantee that the OpenExampleSite needs exactly four locations,
and that one of those locations is an overpass url, and what if we add a fifth
link, and so on. So really we're talking about a much bigger level of
customisation, and we don't support that.
However, I'd suggest a compromise version, where we move the URLs out of the
view and into the translation system. We do that already with a lot of other
unlikely-to-really-need-translation urls, so there is precedent there.
