external redirect will not be linked in template

[fritzmg]

Abridged reproduction:

1. Create a new event.
2. Set Redirect target to External URL.
3. Set Link target to https://www.google.com/.
4. Create an Event list module and set the Event template to event_teaser.
5. Integrate the module somewhere in the front end.
6. Open the front end.

The headline of the created event will not be linked. Also there will be no Read more… link. Thus you are unable to actually go the the external URL.

Tested with Contao 4.4.12. Same problem exists in Contao 3.5.31 probably.

Cause

This is caused by these lines:

// Show the teaser text of redirect events (see #6315)
if (\is_bool($event['details']))
{
    $objTemplate->hasDetails = false;
}

This is a problem for the event_teaser template, since it will only show links when hasDetails is true. The other templates like event_list or event_upcoming always create a link, regardless of hasDetails.

The current behaviour is inconsistent with the news module. In the news module, the headline is linked when it is an external redirect and the default news_latest template shows a Read more… link as well, when the news entry is an external redirect.
