The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.We had a use-case that required us to be able to edit links picked up by Link checker. This is useful if there are multiple instances of the same link and you want to replace it everywhere the broken link report picks it up. I am attaching a patch that will need to be applied to the Link checker module and a custom Link checker Additions module that you will need if you want to try this out. This is my first time submitting a patch and module to the Drupal community and I hope this can help someone out. I recommend testing this extensively on a dev enviro before applying it to any production sites.

hass commentedThis is not a patch this is an archive.

generalredneck@elshae,
Consider reading the following: https://www.drupal.org/node/707484
It will get you up and going. If you use git, you can even add new files in a patch, making the need for adding an archive to the site unnecessary. Consider using the naming convention guidelines as well when creating your patch as it will help other developers know where a patch came from on a whim

quadrexdevD7 reached its EOL back in January 2025, and there is no active release for D7 for this module anymore.
Development or support is not planned for D7. All D7-related issues are marked as outdated in a bunch.
If the issue remains relevant for D10+ versions, merge requests with proposed solutions for a new module version (D10+) are welcome in a new follow-up issue.
Thanks!
