-- Q: How to redirect to another extractor?  
-  - A:
-    - Most simple using only `url_result` 
-      ```
-      # get proper url first if needed.
-      return self.url_result(url)
-      ```
-    - Using `_request_webpage` and `to_screen` in addition
-      ```
-      urlh = self._request_webpage(
-          url, id, note='Downloading redirect page')
-      url = urlh.geturl()
-      self.to_screen('Following redirect: %s' % url)
-      return self.url_result(url)
-      ```
-    - Using `return` construction
-      ```
-      return {
-            '_type': 'url_transparent',
-            'url': url, 
-            'ie_key': ExampleIE.ie_key(),
-            'id': id,
-        }
-      # Alternative if extractor supports internal uri like kaltura
-      return {
-            '_type': 'url_transparent',
-            'url': 'kaltura:%s:%s' % (partner_id, kaltura_id), 
-            'ie_key': KalturaIE.ie_key(),
-            'id': id,
-        }
-      ```
