Edit 'default/drawers.kupu' the div with id="kupu-drawer" is the HTML for 
the external link drawer. The input field kupu-linkdrawer-input is the url. 
After editing any .kupu file you must run 'make plonemacros' from the kupu 
folder to rebuild the plone wysiwyg macro.

Look in common/kupudrawers.js (search for kupu-linkdrawer-input to find 
where it is used). The link itself is created by the call:

 this.tool.createLink(url, null, null, this.target, null, 'external-link');

The parameters for createLink are: (url, type, name, target, title, 
className)
N.B. In some versions of kupu (all but the latest svn checkout!) the string 
'external-link' was passed in the title parameter by mistake.

So all you have to do is add your own field and pass its value as the 5th 
parameter to createLink. Also you probably want to initialise the value of 
your title field from linkel.title in the createContent method.
