I’m adding some additional information in the abstract or comment field, e.g. html links to the research page of a periodical. It’s awesome that html already works, btw!

I would expect that this link is opened in my default browser. However, it’s opened inside the entry preview and since there is no browser specific context menu, I’m not able to some stuff which needs this (e.g. Save as…).

So it would be nice to at least have an option “open link in default browser” or even making that the default behavior.
