Your plugin should run after the content has loaded and you should search the html for external links. Either by using regex (not recommended) or by searching for any element and checking the href value — tomjm, Aug 25 '14 at 08:05

The way i would do it is by using js which you can add to a template and not bother with a plugin. The js script should go through all the "a" DOM elements and check if the href is an external link. If so modify the href value.
