Right now there is no distinction between external links and interwiki links, except in data-parsoid (which is private). This makes it difficult for Flow (and other read HTML users) to style interwiki links correctly.

Event Timeline
This was removed as part of T55432: Typeof cleanup and smart serialization of new language and interwiki links. With ISBN, RFC, etc links, it is possible for clients to figure this out, but this is far more complex for interwiki links. So, we should consider adding this back since this affects HTML clients that inspect Parsoid HTML (for semantics or for styling in UIs).
Note:
the HTML5 ID stuff affects this too. I believe the default WMF config is to use legacy section IDs for interwiki links where we're not positive the other wiki is using new-style IDs yet. Parsoid doesn't make this distinction...

Maybe because of the patch, now the external links look like interwiki links (without that little arrow) in 2017 wikitext editor's preview mode.
Example: "első körben itt"

See my previous comment. Now the problem is that, the external links look like interwiki links.
