I have a topic on this one: [TIPS] to avoid plagiarism (I updated my guide with the new quoting method I learned today).
What @o_e_l_e_o guided is great (I did not know it). Thank you.
I meant that one:

You can also make the website name itself clickable using the following code:

Code:

[quote="[url=www.example.com]Website name[/url]"]Text[/quote]

Which gives this result:

Quote from: Website name

Text

Just drop the "link=" and the URL will become clickable.

Alternatively, you can drop most of the code and just use the following:

Code:

[quote=www.example.com]Text[/quote]

You can also make the website name itself clickable using the following code:

Code:

[quote="[url=www.example.com]Website name[/url]"]Text[/quote]

I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to Direct the "Quote's Upper Text" to an External URL. By default when you quote someone, the URL points to their original "post/message" is it possible to direct it to an external URL?

The code I have tried but doesn't work as intended. Is there something which I am missing?

Code:

[quote author=Website Name link=www.example.com date=123456789] example text [/quote]
