Hi there,
What is the exact issue you are running into? I just reproduced, and within 1-2 minutes it's working.
In Platform UI:
1. Created a Quick Link
2. Selected Content type = External link
3. Created the External link, and selected this in the External link field
On Employee Center:
1. ctrl+right mouse click on the Quick link widget to open the instance options
2. on the bottom, add the Quick link created to the Quick links field (do have the correct Application Scope active!)
3. Save

Don't know why it would be read-only.
Could you try going directly to the Widget Instance? Service Portal > Widget Instances, and search for the widget.
Within the Widget Instance, there should be a field "Additional options, JSON format". There the Instance Options are actually store. You can edit it there directly, though it's a bit more tricky because it is formatted in JSON.
