Thanks Jeremy that is exactly what i wanted. I just made a plugin tiddler
with
type: application/javascript
module-type: browser-startup
and have it intercept external links with
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
shell.run(externalLink.href);
which seems to use whatever is set as the default browser. It silently
fails and uses the default method if ActiveX is not available so is safe to
use in browser versions too :)
The code is here: https://github.com/welford/htalink
