Description
Please remove this if this is not the appropriate avenue for a feature request.
I am currently writing a library that contains a lot of links to external resources, and I notice that while navigating my documentation that it's irritating how easy it is to accidentally click a link that sends you to a new page when you though you were just going to be navigated to a different part of the documentation.
Would it be possible to style external links differently in such a way as to make it obvious before clicking whether the link is internal or external?
