Summary:
Functionality to have buttons anywhere in MediaPortal (esp. in plugins), which when pressed open up a specified page in the internal web browser.

Area:
- everywhere
- mainly plugins (credits links, forum links, etc.)

Description:
should be covered in the summary pretty much
This way the developers could put about, help, news and whatever links in their plugins and keep everybody informed without even leaving mediaportal.

Other possibilities could be:
-imdb links (i.e. from MesFilms by using the URL field from AMC)
-"show in browser" (i.e. Wikipedia plugin)
-amazon links
-linklists
-you name it


bye,
