Description
An original source may sometimes want to link to an external link where the reference (the page in the reference) is available, e.g. a link to BHL.
We may want to have a URI field for this.
Maybe we also nee multiple URIs for multiple links or maybe even a wrapped URI class which includes further information such as a comment (e.g. why has this link be used or what exactly can be seen here) or a link type. With only one URI we could handle this in parallel to the URI field, otherwise a separate class is to be preferred.
see also comments in #6434 and #6435 and #6589
Decision: Handle as separate class ExternalLink
Open:
- should we handle files via Media or via ExternalLink, general they do have characteristic of Media like (Author, versions, ...) but currently it is not easy to interchange between these both. Maybe ExternalLink could have an extra field Media that links to a full media object, so ExternalLink becomes a Wrapper for simple URIs and complex Media
