 Replying to [comment:41 knutsp]:
 > A checkbox with label like "Allow relative URL", and if not ticked then
 `http://` or `https://` should be prepended when needed, or a warning with
 Ok/Cancel should be issued before the link is accepted/rejected.

 The chances of somebody who doesn't know that they need a protocol before
 a non-relative URL understanding what "Allow relative URL" means seem
 extremely low.
