Can I use Products URL instead of Larger Image option?

Zen 1.3.8 on Linux 2.6 with PHP 5.2.8
Zencart allows me to add a "Products URL" on my product page setup, however, I cannot find anywhere that the catalog accesses this information.
I have written my own product pages and would like for my customers to be able to click on the image within the catalog and be redirected to /my-domain.com/productxyz.html page on my website. (They will still have to return to the zencart catalog to make a purchase, this is only for informational purposes.)
The catalog already provides an option to click on my images to obtain a larger image. I won't need this and am hoping to simply rewrite some of that code.
Anyone know how this might be done? Thanks Much!

What you are seeking will most likely break the process/session control.
ZenCart is not designed to be used in this manner

The url that you have seen to be entered is a manufacures site url and is coded to open in a new window

The URL specified in the product setup page will display on the product info page if the option in Admin - Catalog - Product Types - Edit Layout is set to do so. The link will open in a new window or tab.

As **kobra **said, switching the visitor between Zencart and non-Zencart pages can cause sessions problems, especially if your visitors will spend longer periods of time away from Zencart.
