Did you try the Link Item plugin?

If you want to assign thumbnails to each link, then you can install the Thumbnail Manager plugin and assign a custom thumbnail to those as well.

Edit /themes/YourTheme/templates/album.tpl

Probably best to copy that into a local directory and make your changes there as stated here:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Editing_Templates

I don't know what theme you're using but if it's Matrix, change the stuff in bold:

                  {if isset($theme.params.$frameType) && isset($child.thumbnail)}
                    {g->container type="imageframe.ImageFrame" frame=$theme.params.$frameType
                                  width=$child.thumbnail.width height=$child.thumbnail.height}
                      <a href="{$linkUrl}">
                        {g->image id="%ID%" item=$child image=$child.thumbnail
                         class="%CLASS% giThumbnail"}
                      </a>
                    {/g->container}
                  {elseif isset($child.thumbnail)}
                    <a href="{$linkUrl}">
                      {g->image item=$child image=$child.thumbnail class="giThumbnail"}
                    </a>
                  {else}
                    <a href="{$linkUrl}" class="giMissingThumbnail">
                      {g->text text="no thumbnail"}
                    </a>
                  {/if}

How about this:

Change:

  <a href="{$linkUrl}" alt="{$title}" title="{$title}" target=_blank>
    {g->image item=$child image=$child.thumbnail class="giThumbnail" maxSize=$theme.params.childsFloatingThumbsSize}
  </a>

to this:

{if $child.entityType == 'GalleryLinkItem'}
  <a href="{$linkUrl}" alt="{$title}" title="{$title}" target=_blank>
    {g->image item=$child image=$child.thumbnail class="giThumbnail" maxSize=$theme.params.childsFloatingThumbsSize}
  </a>
{else}
  <a href="{$linkUrl}" alt="{$title}" title="{$title}">
    {g->image item=$child image=$child.thumbnail class="giThumbnail" maxSize=$theme.params.childsFloatingThumbsSize}
  </a>
{/if}

And this:

  <a href="{$linkUrl}" alt="{$title}" title="{$title}">
    {g->image item=$child image=$child.thumbnail class="giThumbnail"}
  </a>

to this:

{if $child.entityType == 'GalleryLinkItem'}
  <a href="{$linkUrl}" alt="{$title}" title="{$title}" targe="_blank">
    {g->image item=$child image=$child.thumbnail class="giThumbnail"}
  </a>
{else}
  <a href="{$linkUrl}" alt="{$title}" title="{$title}">
    {g->image item=$child image=$child.thumbnail class="giThumbnail"}
  </a>
{/if}

I got one more question.
is there any plugin which alows to add couple links at one time.

I see it like this

for each link you fill in <input> fields
it could look like 'edit captions'

1) destination URL,
2) path to thumbnail image or URL to thumnail
3) title
4) keywords
5) description
etc.

it could look like 'edit captions'
