The difference between a link directory and a bar directory is that
bars have physical locations and make them amenable to be included in
the OSM database.
That is not the case with links to third-party websites.
Ok, then what about their opening hours? What about their operator, or
their cuisine?
Cuisine often is essential even for the basic map stuff: a map about
pizzarias vs. a map about chinese restaurants, or a map that has
distinct icons for different food and drink facilities.
The operator might be interesting, too, e.g. to get all parking spaces
operated by a specific company, all bus stops operated by a particular
public transport operator and so on, again e.g. as a map.
