I have a sense, though, that people are less likely to click on a link than a cut tag, but I have no evidence to back it up.
See, this is what I think too. And since this is all about the sweet, sweet feedback -- er, I mean, about giving the reader the best possible experience, I'm conflicted.
The link takes you out of the LJ virtual space. And I think that influences people's behaviour more than we might think.
I do find that since I started using a browser that supports tabbing (Camino) I'm a lot more likely to click on external links since everything stays in the same window -- it's not as disruptive.
