zach-overflow opened a new issue, #55432: URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/55432
### Description This feature request entails the addition of an opt-in feature for extra links which are not stored as an XCom, for static URLs and reduced metaDB bloat. ### Use case/motivation As far as I'm aware, extra links are only supported via XComs. This makes sense for dynamic, task-instance specific / DAG-run specific URLS (e.g. a link to an external Spark job); however, XComs are _not_ an ideal mechanism for static URLs which are only specific to the given operator (rather than the task instance). For example, a very common use case for the Extra Links feature is to point to a static, operator-specific documentation page. Yet, storing that URL in an XCom for each task instance is clearly not ideal in that circumstance, and only adds bloat to the metaDB. ### Related issues Only very tangentially related: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/54527 ### Are you willing to submit a PR? - [x] Yes I am willing to submit a PR! ### Code of Conduct - [x] I agree to follow this project's [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
