Request: Kbin should have a link icon on a linked post that can be clicked to open the link (kbin.social)

Just like the icon for images and videos, but instead of displaying inline, it opens the link in a new tab.

I like the idea of using a link icon with the other two. Or just replacing the text icon, I'm not sure how many really use that like they do the images one.

Thanks, I just don't want to get in the habit of managing a bunch of scripts. It would be like starting with Linux all over again. 😁

At https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues you can create a new issue which will give you more visibility of this.

It's a good idea. I've added that icon to my kbin instance because it's sorely needed.
