I found someone else wanting the same thing, well, close enough anyway. 
It seems this isn't doable.  I find it odd that a email program can't be 
configured to open links in a running browser without the two programs 
being the same.  Linky.

Without this, I'll have to copy and paste all the links I want to open. 
That is just not a good option.  No matter which way I go, something is 
broken.

Weird.
