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.

This is not a patch this is an archive.

@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
