With this idea it brings about some decisions that need to be made in the behavior of the site.

With self.post, clicking the title take you to the discussion/comments. With a link, it takes you to that external url.

Now, when you combine the two. Where will clicking the title take you to? The comments or the link? Should it open both in new tabs?

If it opens the link, then you have to go back to get into the comments, which defeats the purpose of having both in 1. If it opens the comments, then there is no way to get to the link, which is a user experience issue.

The best compromise is to have 2 separate types of posts, which is already what is in place.
