Main story link point to an external URL?

Hi all,
Is there anyway to make the main link at the top of the story – the link which points to that entry’s page/comments/etc. – point to an external URL instead? I’m using my blog to maintain my clippings of articles I’ve written, and the body of the entry is being used to describe the article. So I’d like to be able to have someone click on the name of the article, and see the article itself on the external site.
I’ve tried placing the link tag in the title field, but it doesn’t work properly – seems to get confused right around the “> mark.
Any help would be appreciated. Best,
James
