When I look at a person using whimsy/www/committer and there are form links,
it's nice to simply command-click on the file link and bring up the linked file
in a browser tab. When done looking at it, I just close the tab. This will be
needed to process the emeritus requests once the new buttons are added.
If the form link is a .rtf file, command-click opens a tab and either displays
a message in the tab saying "Ok to download file?" or has a blank tab and the
downloader indicates that a file has been downloaded. Then, the user has to
click on the downloader button, find the downloaded .rtf file, click on it,
which brings up the finder, double click on the file to open it in the user's
selected ".rtf" opener, and go off to that application to read the file. Whole
lotta nothing just to look at an rtf file, and then get back to Safari to
continue.

Open the file in a browser tab or window.

Chrome does the same as Safari but with somewhat different dialog. Same whole
lotta clicks just to view the file in a different application.
Firefox does the same as Safari but with somewhat different dialog. Same whole
lotta clicks just to view the file in a different application.
