You can achieve that by using an extrafield. The extra field will hold the external URL and it will replace the actual url of the item in your lists.
You will have to create a K2 template override in order to modify the category_item.php file. Read here getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates on how K2 overrides work if your template doesn't use them already.

Hi. There is nothing to share. krish kash just gave you the way to do it. If you are not familiar with PHP then you probably need to hire a developer to do it for you.
