Contextual Link Queue
5/10/05 08:21 - email - category: Idea

When I'm cruising through email offline, I often come across links to various sites I'd like to check out. My usual routine is to select the URL, copy, paste into a note-making app like Tinderbox or Notes and perhaps add a small description to myself on the link. When I'm back on the Net I copy and paste from the note into my browser's address bar.

Here's an idea I feel would make an excellent system-wide addition to any OS: ctrl-click a URL (or right-click or whatever brings up contextual menus in your operating system) and choose "Queue Link." You'll get a pop-up with the URL and a text entry field to add a small note. Later, when you're reconnected, open up the Queued Links applet and roll through your saved list.

C'mon Apple... maybe in 10.5? Any enterprising shareware authors want to roll this up? I'll pay, I promise... I just don't have time to do it myself.
