Amazingly simple! opens another tab with the specified url.
Here’s a screen shot
Here’s the code
CmdUtils.CreateCommand({
name: "go",
takes: {status: noun_arb_text},
homepage: "http://davanum.wordpress.com/",
author: { name: "Davanum Srinivas", email: "davanum AT gmail.com"},
description: "open browser to specified url",
preview: function( pblock, statusText) {
jQuery.ajax({
async: false,
type: "GET",
url: statusText.text,
success: function() {
var msg = "<iframe src='" + statusText.text + "' width=500 height=400/>";
pblock.innerHTML = msg;
}
});
},
execute: function(statusText) {
Utils.openUrlInBrowser(statusText.text);
}
})
UPDATED: 4:56 EST Aug 27 – Added a Preview option to display the site in an iframe.
I’d love to have this be able to parse a selection for the link and open that link. That way I could double click a sentence with an address in it and it would find the address and go to the page. I don’t know Javascript yet (I’m learning because of Ubiquity) but is this possible? If so please e-mail me at temp(dot)roger (at) gmail.com

Wow, very cool!
But i have a question, when I try to view a site and write the URL without “http://” nothing happend.
How can I get the preview without write “http://”?
Thanks a lot and greetings
