That is true, but getUrl is basically the only thing from Link which makes sense for ExternalLink (1 out of >10 methods). And I'm not even sure this is true because you'd need a (anonymous) subclass to overrider getUrl. ExternalUrl allows to provide the href with its constructor which is more user friendly.
I must admit I still don't understand where your confusion comes from: ExternalLink is realy a special purpose component only, creating HTML anchor tags pointing to /external/ destinations. What is your use case where you require a more flexible link to /external/ resources (like www.google.com; www.ebay.com, etc.) We could make the href and label parameters IModels to make it a little bit more flexible.
