Create Article Redirect To Other Sources ("short circuit")

Be able to create a new article for the sole purpose of having it redirect elsewhere. For example, I could make a "Helpjuice Pricing" article, which, when accessed would open up "https://helpjuice.com/pricing"
Caleb, a customer said: "For cases where an article only exists to link to a different page. Make a field available at the article level that accepts a URL. If a url is present, the search result link for that article should link directly to the address in the url field for that article."

Emil Hajric: Hi Emil, I don't believe this is working in the way that Caleb requested. Caleb and I were hoping to be able to make an article for the sole purpose of it showing up within the search results but then taking the member to a different article or URL. Currently as its implemented it appears to only work with URLs that don't already exist to direct them to other existing articles. I think what was build was more like a URL shortening service like bitly.

I would find this very useful as we often link to vendor-supplied content. Emil Hajric the custom article idea would work for me

Private Raven Kind of like a URL redirect? For example, I could make an article called "Helpjuice Pricing" and have it lead directly to Helpjuice.com/pricing ?

Emil Hajric: A URL redirect at the article level would work. Is that an available feature that I missed somewhere?
Emil Hajric
Private Raven: Nope, but I like it! What about if you could also have custom types of articles?
E.g.: Create new --> Helpjuice Article / File / Media (Video/image) / URL Redirect ?
