...that capability is actually built into OS X as baseline - just
cnrtl+click on the file/Alias; and you can create the Alias/Webloc on
the Desktop using drag/drop.
Rufus, you seem to be referring to opening a _file_ or _alias_ (what we
on the Windows world known as a "shortcut") with an alternate program.
(By the way, Windows also has the "open with" feature at the file
level). Wolfgang was referring to opening an HTML link from within
Seamonkey, which is a different problem.
I'm referring to both, actually. In OS X (and I'm thinking Win as
well...) you can drag a URL out of the navigation bar or anywhere on a
web page and onto the Desktop to create an Alias (the "link") - from
there you can simply cntrl+click (right click) and get and Open With
contextual menu that will allow you to open that "link" with any browser
installed on your machine by simply choosing the one you wish - this
would be the way to do it without an add-on and using drag and drop, as
previously suggested elsewhere.
But it *would* be really nice to see this ability contained within SM,
seeing as it is a feature of the OS X interface itself. I only recently
discovered that you can do this within Safari if you enable Developer
Menu in Safari Prefs - which also gets you the ability to invoke browser
spoofing.
...I'm becoming more and more interested in Safari.
You can also just drag a link onto an application icon, either on the
desktop, Dock or whatever. The behaviour works fine in Windows, too. One
could have Safari, Firefox or whatever pinned to the task bar and just
drag a link onto it. It's not necessary to create aliases and shortcuts
unless a link will be revisited many times.
...that works too...though I seem to be dragging more and more weblocs
to the Desktop the more I use E-bay and do other short-term sorts of
"note taking" - like using Stickies. Easier to do that and then delete
them than to be constantly editing Bookmarks!
