So this is not really a feature request or anything but more a question i thought someone here might possibly know the answer to, so thought I'd raise an issue for it:

I have the following issue:

  • I'm browsing the web with broswer A, lets say Firefox.
  • I come across a link I want to open in another browser.
  • (I happen to have rules for that browser and ideally I want Finicky to handle which browser picks it up)

I know of: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-with/ which allows us to open the link in the specified browser. in principle I could configure it to use Finicky as the browser. Although it seems to have had support for multiple browsers, it is now unfortunately no longer maintained, so it's not an ideal solution.

But I was wondering if there is any way of getting the system to pick up a link, instead of, the same browser. Is this even possible? Browser specific/agnostic solutions all welcome.

Like I say, Finicky itself sits outside my issue, but thought I'd ask.
