“Open With…” Option for All Supported Formats

Feature RequestKano: PerformanceFile managementUX/QoL

There’s no “Open With…” option available for files (PDFs, MD pages, websites, images), so it’s impossible to quickly open them in an external app—for example, a PDF reader with advanced annotation tools.

It’s inconvenient when I need to make a one-off edit or annotate a document using another app. I have to manually locate and open the file outside the system.

Suggest a solution
Add a universal “Open With…” option for all supported formats (PDF, MD, images, websites) in the context menu, allowing temporary access via external applications.

    Merged request

    “Open in Another Browser” Option for Web Links

    Problem:

    When a web link is already opened inside ABLE, there’s no quick way to open the same link in a system browser like Google Chrome, Safari, or Firefox.
    This is sometimes necessary.

    Proposed Solution:

    • Add an action “Open in Another Browser”:

      • In the web pane toolbar (icon or menu)

      • On right-click of a web item or tab

    • Clicking it opens the current URL in the user's default browser (set in the OS).

    Why it matters:

    • Gives users full flexibility when a site works better outside ABLE.

    • Saves time — no need to manually copy and paste URLs.
