How to create an external hyperlink on a page?
An external hyperlink is a link to a Web page outside of your own site. When you create an external link, it is recommended to open this link in a new Web browser tab or window, so that the Web user never leaves your site completely.
The Insert a link toolset enables you to place a link in your content to external and internal content. You can, for example, reference an external website or direct readers to an email address. In addition, you can link to any page or content within your website, for example, to an Events page, or to a particular News item. You can configure additional data for the link, such as display text, query parameters, tooltip, link style, anchor, and more attributes.
Once you insert a link, Sitefinity CMS displays whether the link directs to a URL, email address, page within the site, or certain content item, for example, a document.
When linking to a particular content type, Sitefinity CMS uses dynamic links, so that in case you move the News widget, for example, the link to the news item still redirects to the proper content
