Media Entity Link

The Media Entity Link module provides a new media type and media source plugin called 'link'.

It allows for the creation of media which is a link to internal or external URLs and resources that can be browsed in the media library and included in any media views.

This can be useful if your website contains a resources section that needs to link to internal or external documentation which are web pages and not PDFs, for example.

This module is designed for Drupal 9+ and is ideal for site builders who need to include links to resources and other URLs using a media type.
