Comment:

 This was changed slightly from 2.9 in #12551. That said, this is not a
 regression.

 In non-JS, we do not disable the field, as the checkboxes/radio buttons
 don't work server-side. (We probably should hide the field and make them
 work server-side but I'm not too concerned about that.) This is unchanged
 in 3.0.

 With JavaScript enabled, we previously tracked the text field on the keyup
 event and prevented any input. Clearly, that's ineffective and confusing
 to people who believe you should be able to enter any data, so the JS now
 just disables the field. That's what changed via #12551.

 This said, you could certainly disable the XFN JS and do what you wish.
 Additionally, I imagine there are filters that you could use to add the
 "external", perhaps even by using a link category called "external" to
 then track which links should get "external" via a fitler.

 Closing as wontfix.
