One of Leo's coolest features is being able to add buttons to the toolbar 
in a context-aware or context-dependent way. It'd be really cool if this 
could be extended so that the "button" could be somewhere else. For example 
what if the text within [ ... ] could initiate an action, a Leo script?



*[Register-leo] - Creates registry keys for Leo file type and .leo file 
association. Afterwards .leo files will show Leo icon and double-clicking 
them will open in Leo Editor.*


Already ctrl-click on a URL in body text launches a browser, so there's at 
least some plumbing to enable action-on-text. No idea at this point what 
the triggers could be*, there's no way we want any ol' text fragment to be 
actionable, but figured I'd throw the idea out and see what sprouts.
