ExternalLink realy is a convinience component only and should only be used for links pointing outside of wicket. May be we should move it into extensions because it is not a general purpose component and probably not used very much anyway. And because it replaces the tags body with whatever test is provided. That is not the standard wicket way. It just saves a little bit of coding.
