 Missing the option to have dynamic links in WP.

 Let me explain with an example:
 Say you have 15 pages on your WP site.
 On 8 of these you have linked to http://anothersite.com/content

 Now say the other site moves the content you are linking to.
 The new url is now http://anothersite.com/year/content

 In todays WP you would need to edit all your 8 pages to get the links
 correct.
 It would be nice to have the ability to add links to the links manager
 which would get an ID you could point the url to instead.



 Example with improvement:
 Say you have 15 pages on your WP site.
 Now on 8 of these you link to http://yoursite.com/links/id=1

 Link no.1 in the links manager would link to
 http://anothersite.com/content
 and by clicking the link on your 8 pages you would be redirected to the
 url the link with id1 is refering to.

 Now say the other site moves the content your link is reffering to.
 The new url is now http://anothersite.com/year/content
 With the improvement you would only need to change the one link in the
 links manager, and all 8 pages would be up to date.
