External links
I suggest that links that leave CP, to a manufacturer’s website for example, be visually different from internal links. A style that places a small icon next to the link (like Wikipedia) works well. This gives users an opportunity to decide whether they want to open in a new window/tab or to follow the link at all in cases where they’re at work or some other sensitive environment.
This thought came to mind when I clicked on a product’s “more information” link and was taken to a manufacturer’s musical website (Nespresso). Another option may be to relabel that link “manufacturer’s website”, or something similar

Good call, we had this in the previous version, must’ve gotten lost in the redesign.

I’ll work on the icon, though I think the rephrasing at places may be a good idea as well.

And rephrasing’s on me. If you see anything in particular, Jeff (or anyone), and you think of it, let me know.
