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?
