It looks like you’ll have to change the URL directly for the topic itself in the categories section. Then it should go directly to the external URL - also saving the step of clicking and loading the topic, then clicking on it a 2nd time. Hopefully someone from Discourse will chime in if this would break something in the way categories are listed - and their respective URLs.
