Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Thumbnail Link for WooCommerce version 1.1.0 as active, updated 8d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
By default every product image in your WooCommerce shop links to the product page. This plugin adds an External link field to each product. Fill it in and the product image and title in the shop link straight to that URL, opened in a new tab.
Typical use cases:
Affiliate products (Amazon, Awin, Digistore24 …)
Products that are sold on another platform
Teasers that should lead to a landing page
Features
One extra field in Product data → General.
Works with classic shop templates and with block themes (Product Collection block).
External links get target="_blank" and rel="noopener nofollow".
Products without an external link behave exactly as before.
Compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and the Cart/Checkout blocks.
Lightweight: no settings page, no database tables, no tracking.
For developers
Change the link attributes with the filter tlfw_link_attributes, for example to mark affiliate links as sponsored:
