[RFC] hook_link: local URL rewriting

[Kellanved]

Name: hook_link
Rationale:: Allow url rewriting for "pretty" URLs, adding GET arguments etc.
Input:

• one array reference with the following fields
• path : the path from the current document root
• basename: basename of the script to invoke (can be empty)
• vars: the query string, as key => value array
• anchor: anchor fragment, if any
• text: the link text
• attributes: additonal attributes for the a tag (style, etc) as key => value array
• data: additional contextual data, depending on the location. can be used to pass data to other MODs
• protocol: http(s) etc
• link: if the link is already assembled, it can be passed in this field. If so, the above fields will be ignored.

Output: identical to input (reference)

• path : the path from the current document root
• basename: basename of the script to invoke (can be empty)
• vars: the query string, as key => value array
• anchor: anchor fragment, if any
• text: the link text
• attributes: additional attributes for the a tag (style, etc) as key => value array
• protocol: http(s) etc
• link: if the link is already assembled, it can be passed in this field. If so, the above fields will be ignored.

Placement: append_sid and inside a new method link to be applied to all internal links not currentlu using append_sid. The arguments of link are identical to the hook's arguments
Semantics: The links output to the user are assembled from the resulting array. This means that hooking modules can add arguments to the query string or change the link completely.

An example of the new url?

[nickvergessen]

Its a hook, the mod-author can set the url how they like than.
