external link
Points elsewhere online
An external link is a hyperlink that points to a page on a different website from the one you're currently viewing.
The term distinguishes these from internal links, which connect pages within the same site: The article included several external links to primary sources.
External links are sometimes marked with a small icon indicating you'll leave the current domain.
