Link Posts to External URL

I just released a plugin that does pretty much that… you may want to take a look at the Recommended Links plugin and see how its done… or if this plugin works, try converting your links to the custom type I’m using and just install this plugin.

My approach was to create a new custom post type for these links, add a postmeta entry for the URL they should link to, and filter the_permalink to refer to the link from postmeta, rather than the permalink for the post. I also created a basic widget to allow users to submit their links, and filtered the_content and comment_text to add voting buttons to each submitted link and comment on it.
