Document what differentiates this module from extlink.

I did not know about the existance of the extlink module.

On quick glance: that module is entirely different and does a lot of stuff I would not want in this module or my projects for that matter:
- Add js that is executed on each page (each extra loaded script comes with a page load penalty)
- Adding icons to (external) links: if you really want that, then great, you can use that other module. Personally, I dont want my content editing clients to call me because when they added an external link in the menu, suddenly an icon is added that they don't want and they don't know where it comes from.

So i'd say both modules are for different use cases.

I think it's not necessary to adjust the project page, it already basically says what you highlighted.

Flyke,
Thanks for the quick response.

ExtLink can, and does, cover the usecase this module provides. You can see the comment in 💬 external_links_new_tab project open to new maintainer applications on 30 Sep, 2021 Fixed expressing so. Additionally, a lot of what you are suggesting are configurable features. Lastly, ExtLink covers links in the content without a need for a module like linkit and thus the need for javascript.

Thanks for your consideration of the issue though. I won't press you any further for change.
