It's not that far fetched, actually. Many linux desktop environments allow for special URIs to add remote file functionality. For example, in KDE, if you have ssh on your web2py machine, and the link is something like fish://user:p...@host/path/to/web2py/file.py, KDE will open it in whatever editor you have set for .py files. GNOME has a similar mechanism, too (there are many protocols that are supported this way, (s)ftp, webdav, etc). No idea about windows or macos.
