XF 1.5 Put link in router?

I am trying to put an external link that would be loaded if navigated to mysite.com/link/link. How can I achieve that?

Find Route: link/link
Replace With: www.manhattan.com

I tried putting this into a router but it said at the Replace With field that must start with a route prefix.
 
Route filters won't work for that unless you use a link forum:

Admin CP -> Applications -> Create New Link Forum

The link forum is what does the redirect. Then you can use a route filter to make the link forum accessible from a different URL.
 
What am I doing wrong? Please see image below.

Route filters change URLs within XF only. You can only change part of the URL there -- no domain, query string, etc. You need to enter your redirect target in the link forum itself.
