Oh the link is in a text field so that users can copy and paste it.
Sorry, that's what I mean by the brackets, but I didn't explain that:

That's good, except there's no need for a subscribe button - you
click the link itself. That's what links are for :-)

Good point...
Perhaps we can make it 2 steps instead:
1. Select option from pulldown
2. Click a [Subscribe] button --> Attempt auto-launch of
appropriate app

I don't like the "auto launching" part. Sometimes I just want to
copy the link, not launch an app. I want to select the item, then
see information for it below saying "Click the link to launch
XXXX or copy link into clipboard and paste into blah blah".
People don't expect selecting an option will do something as
drastic as launching another app.
Also, the "copy to clipboard" button - that's not a common web
convention, and not sure if it even works that well (can't get it
to work on Mac firefox right now for instance)

Hope this clarifies rather than confuses:
In the Collection details dialog (as in NOT the subscribe
pulldown), there is a pull-down:
=====
Collection name: [xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] [Bookmark this]
-------------------------------------------------------------------
---
Subscribe with:
|Chandler|v|
iCal 2x
Feed Reader
Download calendar and tasks*
Other...
=====
* I think Download needs to be above Other as well as Feed Reader.
What happens when the user selects an option in the pulldown:
Subscribe with Chandler --> Dialog expands to display the
following -
Copy and Paste this URL to the Collection>>Subscribe... menu
item in Chandler:
URL: [xxxxxxxxxxxxx] [Copy to Clipboard] [Help]
Subscribe with iCal2x --> Auto-launches iCal if you're on Mac
and Dialog expands to display the following -
Copy and Paste this URL to the Calendar>>Subscribe... menu item
in iCal:
URL: [xxxxxxxxxxxxx] [Copy to Clipboard] [Help]
Subscribe with Feed Reader --> Attempts to Auto-launch feed
reader and Dialog expands to display the following -
URL: [xxxxxxxxxxxxx] [Copy to Clipboard] [Help]
Download calendar and tasks --> Downloads .ics file to Desktop
Other --> Displays the following in the dialog -

with the appropriate URL:
CalDAV: [xxxxxxxxxxxxx]
WebCal: [xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Questions:
+ Does anybody else support Chandler Morse code? Users can
already get a Chandler URL from the Subscribe with Chandler option.
