Make LinkItem a valid property type
+1
So I can stop decorating all my "LinkItemCollection" with a custom [MaxItems(1)], and just use a "LinkItem" which is what I need in 90% of cases.

Totally agree. Like @mads we have been decorating with [MaxItems(1)] and then handling a list instead of single.

As you can see from Daniel Ovaskas answer there are some nice features (at least used to, if not changed by now) that is missing using
URL, that exists in the LinkItem editor.

I can’t recall the exact differences from my mind right now simon, but I think there’s built in features such as target and other nice options.
Even customers asks for these changes.
> on that place we can select that, why can’t we do the same on that other place?
The workarounds seems to be a limited list of one LinkItem or some time consuming effort to extend the URL editor.
That seems costly when there is a good editor, that we can’t re-use...
I don’t know of there are any changes lately or if that is on the road map. But clearly some of us have this feature request...

I agree. To describe the differences:
Missing in URL-property:
- Link name/text
- Link title
- Target

I see my colleague already used LinkItem as a property in a CMS project, it seem working.

LinkItemCollection is great but if you only want one link it would be nice to be able to create a LinkItem property.
