[wp-testers] 'link' post format

[Dougal Campbell]

In the description for the 'link' post format in the Codex[1], it says:

   "The first <a href=""> tag in the post content will be considered the 
external link for that post. Alternately, if the post consists of only a 
URL, that will be the URL and the title (post_title) will be the name."

Is that just a suggestion, or do we actually have utility functions 
available to help with this? I poked around a little bit in the source, 
Codex, and Trac, but didn't spot anything.

Some sort of "extract_first_link_url()" and "extract_first_link_title()" 
functions in core might be nice here. Unless the Codex quote is just a 
*suggestion* of a possible usage, in which case, does somebody have code 
for the previously mentioned functions that I can borrow? :)
