This is impossible with the current startpage implementation, as it does not have the privileges required to open any of those items. The only way to make this work is to ditch the remote startpage entirely, and implement a local startpage in a similar way to the Mozilla one. I can't make the decision to do that though, and that is something that's highly unlikely to happen any time in the near future
