I'd like to be able to click on a task, and then be able to easily launch a
browser on an associated URL - for example a bugzilla entry.  I mentioned this
on IRC, and the dialog from this discussion is shown below.

You could even imagine putting a default printf string to allow you to enter
shorhand URLs.  For example, if you associated this printf string with my
project, then I could just enter the bug number instead of the whole stupid URL:
   http://www.osdl.org/developer_bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=%s

Of course, if the bug number started with http://, then you could easily
recognize this and not plug it into the default printf string.

Since you're reading this from a file, you don't have to worry about format
string vulnerabilities.  A simple scan could convince you that exactly one
format string was present, and that it was %[digits]s.

Of *course*, you would *have* to make these hot links in your web view of the
project plan ;-).


<alanr> You ever think about associating URLs with the different items, and then
being able to launch a browser on the URL when someone clicks on it in the right
way?
<alanr> That way, I could point at bugzilla entries, for example, so people
could go get the status of what's going on there easily.
<Jani> Err...?
<alanr> Maybe you can already do that, and I'm just a doofus?
<alanr> (not the first time if so)
<richard> alanr: don't listen to Jani, he's mr negative
<Jani> ME? 
<alanr> It would be really handy.
<richard> alanr: yeah, it's come up from time to time
<Jani>  /dcc send richard electric_shocks.sh
<richard> alanr: adding an url type to the possible types for custom properties
should solve it
<Jani> Oh you meant something like that... Well, it could be nice feature.
<alanr> And, associating a double click, or pull down "launch browser" menu or
something.
<Jani> Like attaching URL to our intranet project/bug form.
<richard> yeah
<Jani> in task... Hmm.. Interesting idea indeed.
<alanr> I want to point to my bugzilla items.
<alanr> So, I can then see what's up with them.
<alanr> by clicking (somehow) on the schedule.
<Jani> context menu.. (right mouse click...)
<richard> you could file a bug for this
