Comment 5 for bug 1785879

I don't think my original idea of "sniffing" the field value is going to cut it.

So instead I'm going to add a column to the Field Name Templates for "URL". Selecting that will cause the button to appear in fields of that name.

The button will work as the Datasheet field does today: it handles http:,https:,ftp:,www. and file: without any environment variable expansion, and paths with environment expansion. I'm not sure if/how it handles relative paths, but someone could experiment with today's Datasheet field to find out....

(Thanks to NhatKhai who pointed out that I originally put this comment in the wrong bug. Too many browser windows open!)
