304958 - The URL handler needs a better event model

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Grendel Graveyard :: User Interface, enhancement)

Description

Build Identifier: 

The URL handler needs a better event model

This could be a full event model with listeners and events
 This might be too much for the kind of events that are called

But it should be delegated out of the HyperlinkListener class, so that the code
is manageable if new classes want to know when the user clicks a Hyperlink in
Grendel.

There should be standard handlers for the events, so that clicking on a http:
link causes the default browser to open, and mailto: or news: are handled in
Grendel.

Reproducible: Always
