These currently serialize as external links:
echo '<link rel="mw:WikiLink/Language" href="http://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/">' | node parse --html2wt [[http://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/]] echo '<a rel="mw:WikiLink/Interwiki" href="http://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/">ko:</a>' | node parse --html2wt [[http://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/|ko:]]
We should probably match absolute URLs against the list of patterns and serialize to the locally defined interwiki / language prefix when that is defined.
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/81413/ adds tests for this. The html2* portion is currently failing and blacklisted.
DOM spec change plans after some discussion on IRC:
We should also revisit the various mw:ExtLink/* variants. Some of them are very syntax-focused without adding real information for external users.

VE support will be in wmf15 (so deployed on MediaWiki.org tomorrow, and everywhere on 5 September.
In bug 53505 I developed a method for pure-CSS external link numbering ([http://example.com]), so we can also go ahead and simplify all mw:ExtLink/* variants to just mw:ExtLink, and remove the numbering logic in Parsoid. That means that current mw:WikiLink/Interwiki will go straight to mw:ExtLink.
