just set the action type to python and then use pyQT :) The following python code should open the file pointed by %FIELD with the default application (e.g. an image viewer): from PyQt4.QtCore import QUrl; from PyQt4.QtGui import QDesktopServices; QDesktopServices.openUrl( QUrl.fromLocalFile(%FIELD) ); The next one will get an url instead, so if %FIELD contains http://www.qgis.org it should open the web browser: from PyQt4.QtCore import QUrl; from PyQt4.QtGui import QDesktopServices; QDesktopServices.openUrl( QUrl(%FIELD) ); It's easy, isn't it? :) Regards. > Andreas > > On Tue, 25 Oct 2011 14:21:00 +0200, Richard Duivenvoorde wrote: >> >> Hi List, >> >> we have a webservice which returns a shapefile with attributes. >> >> one of the attribute values is a full url to some real time generated >> report for every feature in the shape (one report for every feature). >> >> I found it not so easy to select/copy/paste the link and open it in a >> browser (after loading the shape in qgis)...
