Overview
Allows custom “link” post type which adds a Link URL value custom meta box to the post editor
This allows the posts to be easily redirected to the value of that link. (This will involve a small amount of code in the template used to display posts)
The main idea behind this is that you can easily build up a collection of links which you can tag with various key words.
From this you can quickly set up something in your templates/theme of choice to display related links on your blog posts or other pages along with a thumbnail without the need to type in the same links on all the pages
Note: This plugin does not do the redirect for you, you will have to do that within your chosen template
