Any way to change the default behaviour of "Record Name" link

This is probably a really dumb question, but is there a way to change the default behavior for the "Record Name" of a custom object? Right now, that field is a link that opens the Custom object record for editing. I want to change it so that that link opens an external URL to do the editing! The Custom Object is a shodow copy of our external DB and we want that external system to be where all record changes are made (we'll push the changes back in to SDFC). If this is not possible, can I "hide" the Record Name field so that I could put my "own" version of the field in there? Thanks, Andy.

The customization you want to implement i.e. modifying the "Record Name" link to open an external link is not possible as it is a standard page which are not available for modification.

Conversely you can remove the record type field ( change record type link ) from the page layout of the custom object.
