A LinkBlock for wagtail (allows choice of Page / Document / External URL).

Wagail LinkBlock

A link block to use as part of other StructBlocks which lets the user choose a link either to a Page, Document, or external URL, and whether or not they want the link to open in a new window.

It hides the unused fields, making the admin clearer and less cluttered.
