Comment(by wenzeslaus):
I'm not sure what user would expect. But you might be right. External
links are special and the HTML rendering capabilities of the used widget
are (currently) very limited. Perhaps, external links should be marked
similarly to external links in wikis (e.g., with some special picture
before or after). This is a topic for a special ticket since
implementation is not trivial.
Alternative solution, is to have a button there "Open current page in web
browser" (or something shorter). This is what I would use sometimes even
for manual pages. This feature can be actually implemented regardless of
the external links issue.
