dsh-external-links

Users of the DSH desktop app often hit a frustrating dead end: external links inside chat messages do nothing when clicked. Version 5.3.6 fixed the underlying shell.open-external bridge, yet the WebView layer still lacks an anchor-click interceptor, so links remain unresponsive. dsh-external-links fills exactly that missing wiring.

Its scope is deliberately tight: it intercepts http/https clicks and routes them straight to the now-working native bridge, opening the link in your system default browser; file:// URLs are decoded into absolute Windows paths and launched with the default application. In-app navigation, same-origin links, downloads, right-click copy, and middle-click are all left untouched. When no WebView shell is detected (e.g. the WebUI opened in a regular browser), it gracefully falls back to window.open in a new tab. Since v0.2.0 the plugin no longer depends on a PowerShell host route: pure client-side, zero framework coupling.

Ideal for anyone running DSH desktop 5.3.6 or later on Windows who wants one-click browser access to every external link in a conversation. The plugin lives in the user profile directory, survives DSH version updates, and can be toggled directly from the built-in plugin manager.
