MQ ReLinks is a wordpress plugin which allows you to easy make all external links in posts, pages, comments and author links non external, by using a redirect.
In stead of a direct link to another site, the plugin will create a link to a out.php file that will redirect to the requested URL. They can be opened in a new window or in the same one.
You can configure the post, comment and author link options in the administration area.
A redirected link will look like this:

http://maiq.info/wp-content/plugins/mqrelinks/out.php?url=http://www.wordpress.org/

You can edit it to look like this:

http://maiq.info/out/http://www.wordpress.org/

To do so you have to edit the .htaccess file and add a line of code:

1

RewriteRule ^out/(.*)$ wp-content/plugins/mq-relinks/out.php?url=$1 [L]

right after this part of code:

1
2
3
4

BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteBase / 
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]

There are further instructions in the administration area.
