On deeper thought, yes it can be useful to directly load any URL directly into
Viking.
For various people's workflows it can be easier, since you won't have to manage
the files otherwise created by the web browser (or other download tool).
Such as getting it directly into your .Viking project file.
I think I can add this very rapidly and support getting GPX and KML types.
