You could also, of course, edit the source of the web application itself, but that shouldn't be necessary. If there's any way you can expose your extension, it should be pretty easy for us to figure out why it's not loading as expected.

Any sort of "pseudo protocol" would effectively be a hack to get arbitrary links into the list of connections. Per-user configurable or not, if the idea is to present a different interface to different users, it may be that your only recourse is to write a different web application application driven by the same core as Guacamole, that way you have full control of whatever that application does, its interface design, etc.: http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/doc/gug/writing-you-own-guacamole-app.html If you can get the extension form of this working, given that extensions have the ability to authenticate users and/or provide varying data depending on the identity of the user, you can implement functionality like this. It would be more complicated than making the change globally, but it is doable. I recommend getting the global form working first, however. - Mike
