What exists today

Optional connected-plugin methods: validate, summary, form_attributes, test, needs_consent (plugins/base.py:835-850).
The card: Settings → Connections (templates/plugins/…).

What would change

Optional links(config) -> list[tuple[str, str]] (label, https URL), drawn on the card as external links (rel="noopener noreferrer", target="_blank", the external-link icon), at most six.
URLs checked: https only, through the same check as JobPostingData.url (page_address); a bad one dropped and logged, never drawn.
Used first by tiagoagueda/postulo-francetravail#5. Documented in CONTRIBUTING.md and the wiki's Writing a plugin beside summary.

Checked against main at 8c3d03570. Needed by tiagoagueda/postulo-francetravail, an independent plugin outside Postulo's official repositories, but general to any country's employment service.

A connection whose service has no usable API for a person can still save them a search: a link to their own space there, to the page where a monthly declaration is made, to its messages. Today a connection's card shows only a text `summary(config)`. ## What exists today - Optional connected-plugin methods: `validate`, `summary`, `form_attributes`, `test`, `needs_consent` (`plugins/base.py:835-850`). - The card: *Settings → Connections* (`templates/plugins/…`). ## What would change - Optional `links(config) -> list[tuple[str, str]]` (label, `https` URL), drawn on the card as external links (`rel="noopener noreferrer"`, `target="_blank"`, the external-link icon), at most six. - URLs checked: `https` only, through the same check as `JobPostingData.url` (`page_address`); a bad one dropped and logged, never drawn. - Used first by tiagoagueda/postulo-francetravail#5.
