That was sort of obvious :), but I wonder what do you want/use this for. 
What's wrong with a roundtrip through your browser? Click a link -> your 
browser asks you what to do -> the browser performs the required work.

As an anecdotal data point about my specific usage patterns: when a link 
refers to something which is not a web page, it's very often something 
which requires authentication anyway. Trojita won't know what to do in that 
case.

We also do not want to deal with showing a progress GUI of possibly N 
concurrent downloads, to track their state, to make this list persistent 
and to recover from OS/session restarts, etc. In short, as Thomas said, 
Trojita is not a download manager.
