Question about linking to an outside page

Hello folks.
I am in the process of finishing up a new store. From my main site http://shopshogun.com under where it says bands I would like to point a certain band name to an outside page. Is this possible and if so how would I do this? I have attached a screen shot that might explain better.

Re: Question about linking to an outside page

It looks like you are using the manufacturers drop down here. You cannot have one of these entires hyperlinked to an external site because the programming for that section simply does not work that way. The data in this list is contained in the database - so it's not a "html" reference.

What currently happens when that band's name is clicked?

Re: Question about linking to an outside page

Just that one band rather than all of them? I don't think so, but there is a 'URL' field in the manufacturers setup page, but I don't know how/when it's called.

One thing you could do is put that band in a different blank sidebox.

It's returned in the manufacturer's Information sidebox - when a product is called that is associated with that manufacturer AND the manufacturer's Information sidebox is enabled

Yes... or an EZPages external link - much easier.
