Hi Don,
I know of no other way of doing this other than the one which you are using,
with the results you are getting. However I save the census as a jpg and put
it in Detail Source Picures so that I always have it available with out
having to use Ancestry again.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Linking census web pages to Legacy sources: how to
Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2006 01:15:02 -0500
I would like to add a link on my sources linking back to the original web
page were I obtained the source.
For example, I could put a link on a census as a source linking back to the
ancestry.com page where I obtained the census page. This same method should
work for any link to web content.
I tried out one method: I copy the web address for the census page from my
web browser and paste it into the Comments section
of the source. Then to when I am later viewing the source in Legacy and
want
to see the original census, I copy and paste the address back into the
internet browser and I go right to the original census page.
My question is there a more elegant solution than all the copying and
pasting? For example, is there a way to embed or otherwise set up a section
of the source with something like "click here to see original census"
instead of having three lines of a gibberish web page address in the
sources?
And is there a way to tell Legacy that I want to engage the browser when I
click on the pasted links so that I do not have to manually engage the
browser?
Any suggestions appreciated.
