Re: Crazy Idea: OOP for "Hyperlink"

What is wrong with a special type of Field - which is a URL, but also
have augmented data items which are stored on the model?

As far as I know - there is no rule that states that each 'Field' on a
model has to have one and only one field in the database. Even if you
have one and only one field in the database, you could capture augmented
information about the URL, and store that as a blob field on the model.

The Custom field would also implement the right methods to turn the
field into html, or even a form.

All possible - the question is how much effort is needed to implement
and test this custom Field.
