Overriding Links?

[natecoupons]

Is there a way to override links that a user posts? For example let's say that they post a link to Sears.com. We are an affiliate of Sears through Commission Junction and would like to have our affiliate link override the naked, plain link. Is that possible to do? I've searched and haven't found a plugin/hack for that yet!

By naked, plain link you mean something like: http://www.Sears.com/ ? If so you could create replacement variable for such link to override it with your the referral code link. As simple as that. But if the links would be something more expanded like http://www.example.com/blahblah/ you would have to use something that will target a whole link text..

Where could I find a replacement variable? Is that something that vb.org has as a plugin or hack?

Essentially what I would want is anytime we see a "sears.com/xoxoxoxoxo" I would want it to be converted into a CJ link, I don't care if it isn't targeted: www.anrdoezrs.net/click-4008x0x0 or whatever it is.
