db/8599

images that are links are not handled on this ticket.  Should we do something 
about it in a next ticket?  There could be images that look like text.  But it 
could be annoying to show a domain after every image link (especially a row of 
badges)

another overall consideration instead of appending `(evil.com)` or in addition 
to that, we could have a popup when clicking on it to confirm you're ok going 
to the site.  Seems like more work than is worth it

**[tickets:#8599] show domain on external links, if misleading**

When showing links (e.g originating from markdown, but really any html output) 
we should do something about links that could be misleading.  For example with 
`<a href=https://evil.com/>sourceforge.net/auth/</a>` we could automatically 
append `(evil.com)` into the output so its obvious when its misleading.

We should also check for non-ascii domain names (IDN) and if they have chars 
that are potentially confusing with normal ascii, then show the decoded domain 
name (even if the link & text match, if the chars could be confusing)
