User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1pre) Gecko/20090717 SeaMonkey/2.0b1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1pre) Gecko/20090717 SeaMonkey/2.0b1 Add a context menu called pass URL/Link (or something) where you can select from a list of predefined programs like mediaplayers, downloadmanagers etc etc where you can pass a URL as a parameter. Example: programname.exe -param1 -param2 -stream <"url"> -param4 etc... This would ease the need to copy link location and then paste it into another third party program instead of just invoking the third party program directly from seamonkey. Reproducible: Always
The SeaMonkey team has no intention on implementing this in core SeaMonkey code, but this sounds like a perfect thing to do in an add-on, feel free to develop one, it shouldn't be very hard!
