Feature Request: Pass guest hyperlinks to host OS

Reported by: blamerson Owned by:
Component: guest additions Version: VirtualBox 2.1.4

Guest type: Windows Host type: Linux

Description

It would be nice if there was a way through the VirtualBox guest addition drivers to permit hyperlinks clicked in the guest OS to be passed directly to the host OS operating system. I forsee this being a selectable option, possibly through the "shared folders" option. There should also be a modifiable key to bypass the option (such as cntrl-shift-click, which would leave the link in the guest OS). URLs should probably be selectable (such as http:// and ftp:// links).

My specific instance is that I only use my Windows virtual machine for Outlook. I would prefer that most links I access would open in Firefox in Linux. Thanks!

I second this feature request. I have the same setup here. Thanks in advance!

That sounds like a real security risk to me, so not a good idea.

If this was a possibility, it would have helped a lot. However I am not quite sure about the security risks that might be raised.
