--- Comment #1 from Jan Kundrát <j...@kde.org> ---
Can you please explain what use case do you have in mind? How do you usually
use this feature in another MUA?

Technical stuff -- this is tricky to do in a cross-platform way. I've got no
clue how it works on Windows or Mac, but a XDG-compatible system ("desktop
Linux") usually uses `xdg-open` for accessing remote content, and that's what
Trojita uses as well. Technically, it's wrapped by a QDesktopServices::openUrl
and it might end up calling a DE-specific script and following the user's
preferences. These facilities however do not distinguish between a "please open
this URL" and a "please download content from this location".

When such a feature exists I'll be happy to use it, but I don't see us actually
driving and pushing the standardization effort.

But I see that our pop-up menu offers a lot of options when clicking a link;
that could probably be downscaled a bit.
