I don't understand. Many applications have such a feature, even simple applications. For example, in gnome-terminal you can right-click on any string starting with 'http://' and there is a 'Open Link' option. Are the security concerns different for LyX? To make sure I understand correctly, when you say "clicking on the url" you mean that a webbrowser would be openned when just clicking on the text inside the URL inset? The feature I'm talking about is adding a "Open Link" option to the inset context menu. Scott
