The simplest of all formats, other than the trivial internal wiki link format, is the external wiki link format. When queries produce lists of citations, most of them are external links. 

Right now, it's possible to work around not having an external link format by doing custom template formatting, but that should be unnecessary for such a basic format as an external link, especially when internal links already work by default.

There's a variety of ways to create and use an external link, especially when icon customization is involved:
