We might be talking at cross-purposes here. In the desktop copy of MLO, I can hover over a link in the Notes pane and my mouse turns to a pointing finger. I don't have to hold ctrl, I just click and it opens the link in my browser. I thought that you were saying you didn't like that and you wanted to replace it with Ctrl+click to access the link, like in MS Word. Now I understand that you're proposing setting up a keyboard shortcut combination to open the link, so that you don't have to use the mouse - is that right?
