<guimenuitem>Add Link...</guimenuitem>: This allows you to add your own custom links to the popup menu of any object. It opens a small window in which you enter the &URL; of the link, and the text you want to appear in the popup menu. There is also a pair of radio buttons which allow you to specify whether the &URL; is an image or an <acronym>HTML</acronym> document, so &kstars; knows whether to launch the web browser or the image viewer. You can use this to add links to files on your local disk, so this feature could be used to attach observing logs or other custom information to objects in &kstars;. Your custom links are automatically loaded whenever &kstars; starts up, and they are stored in the folder <filename class="directory">~/.trinity/share/apps/kstars/</filename>, in files <filename>myimage_url.dat</filename> and <filename>myinfo_url.dat</filename>. If you build an extensive list of custom links, consider submitting them to us, we would like to include them in the next version of &kstars;! </para>
