Of course we could do that, but that would take away part of the
restfulness of the API. I don't think we should change the way our links
works, just because a plugin supports making http://* into real links. I
understand that it is a bit harder to browse the API right now, but that
should be fixed soon. We don't have to wait for 2.17 to be released for
this, it could easily live as an external app, it shouldn't take long to
develop something like that.
