Now what are your opinions what we should do about it?
1) nothing.
2) add dialog before launching url. safer but super annoying.
3) add dialog before launching url + dont ask again checkbox.
not implemented - we'll also need to add session keys, which
get erased often.
4) add link target to context menu (non trivial to implement)
5) add (by default disabled) checkbox in security preference to allow
opening links for citations and hyperlinks similarly as we do with
scripts.
6) ?
I tend to go for 5, but there might be other options I did not think of...
I'm always quite paranoid about this. I suppose (5) is OK if people know
what they're doing. Could we combine (3) and (5)? If we only have (5), then
people might not discover this functionality.
If discoverability is a problem in the case of 5, we might simply let
the item in context menu visible, but disabled, so people get curious...
But perhaps in the dialog we could say something like, "If you want to
disable this warning, see Tools> Preferences> Whatever".
So you propose two RCs - one for 5) and one for disabling 3)?
No, I meant one for (5), which would disable (3).

BTW, there is a RC already (but not evaluated in this code path) -
citation_search. Perhaps it can be used here?
That seems to be for something else---whether to use a script to search
for a PDF or whatever---but it seems kind of redundant, since
citation_search_view also has to be set.
