LOVE the linking feature, but one thing seems missing.
I'm envisioning creating a list of items similar to the current linking capabilities, but instead of linking to the page within RW it opens a browser to the specified page. Is this possible? |

Well you can just insert hyperlinks, but what you want is kind of an automatice redirect to a webpage?!
So for example, whenever you type the word "cleric" you want it to link to here: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/c...es/cleric.html hmm... could be handy to have a list such redirect somewhere. But even if the devs think the same way, it probably will be low on the list of priorities, seeing what they have on their plate right now. But nice idea, can't hurt to add it to the backlog. |

While it may sound like a good idea on first blush, when you think about the details, it may be less so. There are several problems with auto-linking to external sources:

Srd content is generally very reliable, and I think this at least should be an option. If you don't want auto-link then you should at least have the ability to select text and look it up on a realm-set default web site for those quick rules lookups without having them in your database

I second what Silveras wrote. I used to link to sources on the web much more, now I try to just copy and past into RW. The exception is certain fantasy-name generation sites, language translations sites, and other interactive resouces that are vey helpful during game but not something you can just cut and past.

To stay with my example above, I'd expect the GM to insert a hyperlink for the word "cleric" and then check a box "always link there" and in the future everytime the word "cleric" is typed it links to the webpage. |
