Description

Copied from: https://github.com/hypothesis/support/issues/193

## Feature Request Form
### There are instances wherein an LMS user is taken out of the LMS context and is directed to a different page, intentionally or unintentionally. Whenever this happens the LMS user has no clue that the page they are on is no longer related to the LMS app.

### Your solution
Whenever there is an action that will direct the user to a different page outside the LMS app, a warning message must be triggered to inform the user of what is about to happen.
