John D. Ament commented on WHIMSY-172:
--------------------------------------
I'm not sure if we're using font awesome, or have access to use it, but this
icon semantically means external link: http://fontawesome.io/icon/external-link/
> Add suitable icon to external links

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-172
> Project: Whimsy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Sebb
>
> Further to WHIMSY-171, it might be useful to identify external links in the
> Whimsy GUI.
> I assume this should be just a matter of adding the appropriate class to the
> link, however there does not seem to be an external link class nor a suitable
> icon in bootstrap.
> An alternative would be to add explanatory text to the links.
> External link icons are not standardised and may be confused with 'opens in
> new window' so that might work better?
