You can't do this with HTML alone. You will need javasctipt to do it client side or a server side technology of you are doing this as the result of a web request. Please clarify what you are trying to do. — Jon P, Jul 01 '20 at 01:35

Very simple way of achieving this redirect with Javascript

function isValidURL(string) {
  var res = string.match(/(http(s)?:\/\/.)?(www\.)?[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\+~#=]{2,256}\.[a-z]{2,6}\b([-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]*)/g);
  return (res !== null)
};

var urlParams = new URLSearchParams(location.search);
var redirectLink = urlParams.get('link');
if (isValidURL(redirectLink)) {
  window.location = redirectLink;
}
