Bug Description

Hey,

I suggest to just use the URI for usecases with open where its appropriate.

Example:

If I visted a video site like http://film.arjlover.net/film/ I find movies that are saved at the server.

There I see HTTP, I click on it, a window pops up that asks me what I want to do.

I want to watch the video directly, like a stream, instead of downloading it, so I press "Open".

Instead of opening it directly with my videoplayer, it first tries to download this file, and than wants to open it.

That's not what I want, when I select "Open" in this case. I want that it opens totem with something like "totem URL" or something like that, or even embeds it into the midori window, but this is another feature.

Changed in midori:
