Mutliple URLs in the URL field

Post by jeremydouglass »

I have some citations that have multiple pertinant URLs. For example:

Flickrmania, by Ed Example

This book might have the press website (where I got the abstract), the author website (where I downloaded the attached PDF), and the URL of the subject (the Flickr.com site).

http://thispress.com/flickrmania/
http://edexample.org/books/flickrmania/
http://flickr.com

At present, if I put these URLs in the field in a return-separated list (as I would with authors or keywords) then clicking on the @ button loads this in the browser:

http://thispress.com/flickrmania/http:/ ... flickr.com
(404 Error)

What I'd like to request is either a simple setup or a complex setup that allows multiple URLs in this field.

Simple:
Anything beyond the first return is ignored by the @ button and the bibliography parser. There are no valid urls with returns in them, so this is not a problem.

Complex:
Like the behavior of Attach button, clicking on @ opens the return-delimited urls each in their own window or tab.

If I'm the only one interested in storing multiple URLs per entry, of course, this feature might not be worth your time. I wonder though if it might be attractive to others....

Good ideas. I'll roll something into 9.0.3...
