[rt-users] 3.6.1 Customize SelfService Tabs with full URLs fails

[Dale Bewley]

On RT 3.4.5 I was doing the following to change the link users click 
on to open a ticket. I wish to take them to a 2nd web server with a 
customized form(s).

The same change in my install of 3.6.1 prepends $WebURL to the link.

Results in a link like
http://rtserver/rtpath/http://server.elsewhere.foo/help/
How can I like to an absolute URL?
