In order to handle legacy paths and URLs, we need to create a field to capture them. We can make use of [Craft's built-in URL field](https://craftcms.com/docs/4.x/url-fields.html) for this purpose.

1. Create a new field of type URL. Set the *Allowed URL Types* to *Web Page*.
2. Add this field to all sections where entries have URLs of their own.
3. Create a config file for this plugin `config/redirector.php` and add the handle of the field created in the first step.
