Can "Open Link" go to default browser instead of current?

Hi @nick , can link open the link in the default browser instead of the browser link is being open in? Right now if I click the open link extension in the front most browser (it’s not my default) it open that page in it, rather than the default browser.

e.g., My default is Velja (a URL router). amazon.com open in firefox based on velja. if I click “open link” in brave browser, it opens it in brave rather than routing it to velja

Hi Andy,

There’s no way to change the built in Open Link action but you could use the following extension:

#popclip 
name: Open in Velja
icon: bundle:search
requirements: [url]
javascript: popclip.openUrl(popclip.input.data.urls[0], { app: "com.sindresorhus.Velja" });

(The above block is an extension snippet — select it then click “Install Extension” in PopClip.)

It has the same icon as the default one so you can disable the default one and put this in its place.
