I have been running through all of the AUI icons: https://jsfiddle.net/robertmassaioli/a9cyf6tp/1/embedded/result/

And I am struggling to find one that would best represent an external link. The closest that I can find is: "aui-iconfont-sidebar-link"

But what I really want is something that looks like this:

link-external-512.png

To represent that using the AUI icons what Icon should I use? What is the most ADG icon to use for this scenario? Cheers.

Indeed we don't… the plan was for the sidebar-link to be it, but we compromised on it because of similarities to the share icon (which is now changing wink)

I don't think we really have a suitable one yet. I'd ask @Valter Fatia about getting one added.
