What :computer:

Switch all links to use standard markdown format for links - [some text](url)
Update the ProseA component that edits markdown links
- external links have added rel tags and an icon to indicate opening in a new tab.
remove the ExternalLink component

Why :hand:

Recently learned that we can override Prose components which NuxtContent provides. This allows us to customize particular Prose components like the Anchor tag component to further customize how it renders links.
This will help us to consistently use a single syntax for links and still handle external link formatting.

Cool Factoid

Did you know you can do some fancy replace with VSCode search? Rather than tediously manually replacing all external-link references with the markdown syntax, you can use regex to search then "select" text from the results to use in a replace action.

:external-link\{text="([^"]*)" href="([^"]*)"\}

The ( ) groups text as a value that you can reference with $# in the replace:

[$1]($2)
