Description
Currently, PT is not allowing custom meta boxes within the PT Editor. What about a hook to allow custom metadata saved?
The use case is a plugin that allows the user to add an external link via /wp-admin/ to direct folks who click through to the post permalink (Page Links To, various SEO plugins, etc).
Such a plugin could add to a non-existent PT hook to automatically fill in that bit of metadata with the source URL.

Sounds good but feeling a bit uneasy about it. Adding a new hook right next to an existing hook seems a bit too much? I know the press_this_save_redirect filter wasn't meant for this but can also be used as an "action".

press_this_save_redirectfilter wasn't meant for this but can also be used as an "action".
My hesitation is if press_this_save_redirect changes over time to make the two uses incompatible. I'm biased toward monofunctional hooks and can get away with myself a bit. :)
I'll maybelater this.
Idea: Add an action hook after everything has been saved before the redirect, passing the
$postarray. A plugin could use that data to fire any custom meta data they'd like based on whatever criteria.
