Create a link checker tool for Sakai site content

Description

It would be very useful for Sakai to have a built in link validator tool that could check for broken links within a course site. Other LMSs currently have this feature. See the links below for examples:

Perhaps HTML Tidy and/or LibTidy (both of which are free and open source software) could be used as a basis for incorporating this functionality into Sakai? https://github.com/htacg/tidy-html5

Or maybe one of the open source link checking tools in the following list? https://www.testingexcellence.com/9-open-source-link-checking-tools/

This came up at our Instructional Design team meeting. I did a bit of research and the biggies all have this features, Canvas, D2L and Moodle. Our faculty will move things around in resources and forget/won’t check links and redo them. This would be a nice feature. We are on 22.4 and it looks like this was asked for awhile ago.
