Update External Links

Update External Links module update the external URLs present in the body content and change them to be opened in the new tab.

This works differently than External New Tab and External Links modules. Both these module uses jQuery to open link in new tab, and script runs every time node is loaded.

In my module, I am using DOMDocument() and adding the target="_ blank" attribute to each external URL. After this node is saved again. So, in this way my module run only once to update external links, unlike External New Tab and External Links, where script is loaded each time.

This is more useful for migration perspective for Drupal 7.
