Change outgoing URLs to to actual URLs

I want to make it more appealing for site owners to integrate my Pligg service into their sites by making my outgoing links able to pass along Google PageRank.

I want to change the outgoing link URLs to the actual submitted URLs when a story is fully displayed. This will be easy enough to do in link_summary.tpl by checking if $pagename eq 'story'.

But I don't know how to get the actual submitted URL. The $url and $story_url variables are internal links. I suppose that $url is used to keep stats on clicks?

1. What variable can I use to get the story's real URL?
2. Are there any kind of stats or system processes I will screw up by doing this?


Thanks!
