Description gwaldon 2016-02-20 05:15:13 UTC 
Currently opening an url directs to the default browser chosen in options:
 
HtmlBrowser.URLDisplayer.getDefault().showURL(url);

This request for enhancement is asking for the ability to direct an url to the internal browser, e.g.

HtmlBrowser.URLDisplayer.getInternalBrowser().showURL(url);

This would give a better experience to users with url intended to them, e.g. help, tips, manuals, etc.
