Hi Michael,

what I was suggesting was to craft the shortcut file on the desktop
manually or semi-manually.

I'm lacking the knowledge of how OSes (Linux, Mac, most Windows
versions) handle this.

On Windows 7 you can create a link by right-clicking on the desktop and
select shortcut. It allows to input a URL. Either by typing or by copying.

If OSes inspect drag-and-drop operations I guess they could inspect copy
operations maybe for the purpose of checking if a link is "safe", so
typing would be safer.

Anyway, if I create such a shortcut and double click it afterwards, the
system default browser is opened.

Because of this not seeming to be helpful I was hoping for others to
come up with better ways.

Regards,
Sebastian
