How can I make an article title link to a URL of my choosing?
Does Textpattern support function or have a plugin similar to this ?
If not, how to make it happen?

There’s no core provision for custom redirects but there are plugins:
- gbp_permanent_links (was the big daddy, but not recommended any more as it’s not been updated in a while).
- arc_redirect (straight URL redirects).
- smd_redirect (with regexes and drag/drop ordering of rules).
The smd plugin menagerie — for when you need one more gribble of power from Textpattern. Bleeding-edge code available on GitHub.

For smd_redirect, is that possible to redirect the URL to another site?
For arc_redirect, is that possible to redirect the URL even it’s not delivering a 404?
