This may be a somewhat silly question, but have you ever wanted to write a text file whose only contents were a hyperlink, such that when the user clicks on this file, the web browser of choice launches and loads up the webpage corresponding to such hyperlink. The file extension of such a file could be, say, .hln, and by right clicking on any one of these files in Windows you could associate the browser of choice with such an extension as the default application to be launched. The only problem is, the browser must recognize the extension. I wonder whether anyone else thinks the behavior I describe here could be useful and whether such functionality could be achieved, say, by writing a web browser plugin for one of the most common web browsers such as chrome or mozilla.
Thanks.
