I like #3.
That seems reasonable to me---that's usually what people mean by the
inline links anyway (an assertion that their link constitutes a
reference). Of course someone should still come along and either: 1)
expand them into a full citation (e.g. with {{cite web}}); or 2)
determine that the link is not a reliable source, and either remove it
or move it to the "external links" section. But we have to do that with
links that are already in ref tags anyway.
