--- Comment #6 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
Interesting idea, common from web browsers. But there are security issues to
consider.

Currently, when <Ctrl>+<mouse Click> "following" an external hyperlink it
invokes a system call to launch another executable, and we warn the user to
consider any risk, see openuriexternally().

Don't see how opening multiple external URIs could be supported with similar
control. Requiring such control to be relaxed and would require a user/sysadmin
managed configuration. But opening of multiple external URIs remaining disabled
by default.

Control could be expertconfig stanza, and maybe also available in UI placed on
the Tools -> Options -> Options... 'Security Options and Warnings' dialog,
adjacent to the 'Ctrl-click required to open hyperlinks' checkbox?
