 * The easiest way would be to add some javascript code, f.e.:
 *     ```
       jQuery(function ($) {
           $('a.ext-link').click(function (e) {
               // add here specific code to open in a modal/lightbox/iframe etc
   
               // prevent opening 2 times
               e.preventDefault();
           });
       });
       ```
