#23991: Media Manager Permalink Edit problem

 I'm finding it impossible to change the root url of the permalink of an
 image in media manager's edit media window.
 If I try to paste a completely new url it strips out all the colons: and
 slashes// making the link a run-together mish-mosh with the root site url
 prepended. Everything is forced to the root site url. I no longer have the
 ability to link outside the site.

 This is unacceptable. I'm working for a client who has a site hosted
 elsewhere and need to use a static image placeholder inside a slideshow
 for a video clip hosted elsewhere - any click on the image in the
 slideshow needs to directly load the video link. Older images (before 3.5)
 still work fine because this was allowed. Refer to
 http://www.toddbuchholz.com to see the problem.

 I've also searched for plugins that might override this behavior and have
 found none that apply to 3.5 or later.

 Obviously if I had direct access to the MYSQL database I could override
 this behavior and have done so on sites which I host.
