Summary of Changes
When currently calling an menu item type URL, with index.php?Itemid=xxx you get a 404. This has the downsite, that when an URL is used on many places you have to add it directly and when it changes, you have to change them everywhere. With this PR you just update the menu item and it updates everywhere, where the correct index.php?Itemid=xxx is used.
Testing Instructions
- Create a menu item type "URL" and put in any URL like "https://www.joomla.org"
- Remember the ID of the menu item.
- Create an article and insert the menu item as link via the "CMS Content" dropdown (should look like index.php?Itemid=102)
Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request
- 404 error when clicking the link
Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request
- Clean (301) redirect to the URL given

In my opinion it is a bug fix and should go into 5.4. It is a bug when a link item causes a 404.
I added such menu item into different articles and the fix works for all.
