[List] Support External Links in List component

[thinkstainless]

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A customer created an independent AEM site, but needed to link URLs to pages outside of the AEM instance as part of the footer link list and the header navigation.

Describe the solution you'd like Add the ability to include external links for the navigation component and the list component. Also add the ability to open the URL in a new tab or window

Are there alternatives? We used static HTML in place of custom components.

A common work-around is to create a redirect page in the location that you want the external link. That doesn't solve wanting some navigation items to open in a new tab, but it does get a navigation item that is external.

We too had same requirement with List component in the footer and other sections. Currently we too configured external link as mentioned by @ky940819 in above post.

We are in process to enhance the List component to support external link. Once we are done, we would be contributing the changes back over here.
