Copyin and Pastin urls what a drag

[Ransom]

Ya know, I've been thinking about this for some time: where can I find a right-click menu edit mod that gives you an option to open whatever you have selected in a new IE window with the selected text entered in the address bar? In other words, being able to quickly goto links w/o copy and paste.

Anyone know/have that option mod I'm looking for? I know its easily possible because I found a google mod that makes it so you can select text, and then from the right click menu, choose "Search Selected Text" and it will search for it in google in a new window (cant remember where i found it!).

right click, open link in new window i think you are asking for?

thats firefox, and i think IE should have that too

no, I mean for links that aren't links.

Like for instance if I said http://www.blah.com here, you could click it and say open or open in a new window.

But say I'm looking a some other kind of message board or some site text thats not a link, like

www.blah.com

now you can only highlight it, copy, and paste. I want something that can give you the option to open a new IE window with said highlighted text as the address.

you probably can't do that

Well heres the google thing I have thats very similar to what I want, so I think its possible, I just need to figure out how to search for the mod or find someone that can make it themselves!

The right click menu doesn't show in the picture, but after highlighting some text (like that code) and clicking search, the google window comes up with the search like so.

There is probably some kind of mod to addon to windoze that you can get that would add it into the dropdown menu...I know that there are other things you can add to the menu, but I didn't ever think of that. If you use firefox then it does what you were talking about. I'll have to look into it, now I'm slightly curious...

if you get firefox you can highlight the text and right click then click search for.
