Short link fields not working for external assets about craft-retour HOT 5 CLOSED

Retour only works when the request goes through Craft. It's very likely that your Nginx setup does not route requests for static assets like images through Craft. This is pretty common for performance reasons, but it also means that your intended use-case will not work.

Would it be possible to detect if the asset the field is on isn't using local storage and, if so, set the redirect destination to the external asset URL? I only ask because setting up a static redirect from /path to works fine as a redirect.

Wait, you're saying the same exact thing works when not in a Short Link field? So the short link "alias" is the only thing not working in this case?

Yes, that's correct. If I'm on https://my-site.com and go to Retour > Redirects and choose "New Static Redirect", I can set a path /my-path, and a destination to the full URL of an external asset https://my-cdn.com/my-asset.pdf, and then https://my-site.com/my-path will correctly redirect to the external asset.

But if I have a Short Link field on the asset where I set /my-path as the value, then https://my-site.com/my-path will just redirect to https://my-site.com.
