Attaching or detecting links to past tournaments

Hi all

On a past tournament page, I think it would be nice to allow players within that tournament to attach links to their videos etc - so it kind of helps annotate the tournament in question. Either directly by "Add link" or maybe dynamically by detecting what blogs or videos etc are linking to the tournament crosstable.

Obviously I have a few videos etc I could attach to certain tournaments. E.g. for example, I have a video for this one:

http://en.lichess.org/tournament/noWdBybU

here:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkS64ZviWrU

Also I have noticed some Youtubers already linking to such crosstables - maybe somehow the links coming in can be picked up dynamically - so all a Youtuber needs to do for example is a put a link to the tournament crosstable - and the crosstable page finds out what Youtube videos are linking to it - and credits those as reverse links.

Cheers, K
An allowance of multiple perspectives of the same tournament... It would provide a vehicle for cross-promotion, as well as encouraging collaboration and content creation in the chess community. :)
Other way to rephrase this: "Dear Lichess. please allow me to link to my Youtube channel in Lichess tournaments' page". KC, you're slipping man. get it together!.
#5 Of course you are right - I would enjoy some crosslinking but also I think other youtubers would love it too - I got IM Chessexplained playing last night in the 9pm UK time - and he did a video of that tournament earlier on Youtube here:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtY-GRmU62Q&feature=youtu.be&t=29m23s

It would be encouraging I think to all Youtubers, all bloggers, etc for such dynamic crosslinking - not just me! And a good "win-win" for the site to be promtoed for free :)

Cheers, K
