Actually, it works. You use the same system as for internal links. Here are the steps:


 * Type the words that you want to have visible (or highlight them if they're already on the page). For example, if you want to put in the link "http://www.example.com", and you want the words "Official website" to be visible, then type or highlight "Official website".
 * Go into the link widget with Ctrl or Command (just as if you were going to pipe a link to another page)
 * Instead of typing in the name of a wiki page, type in your URL, including the http:// part.
 * Save the link (just like you do for internal links to wiki pages).

You can see here that it works.
