Is possible in themaposter to open links in new tab? (when we editing topics)
Can you add it in right click menu like I shown in picture bellow.

idea is to go on the link in thema topic editor with right click and then if it's possible to show 'open link in new tab' among the other options that already exist (copy, paste, cut, replace... ).

You already have that option in status mode

I think it won't be so much difficult for you to add it in other menus for next update.

It's not urgent, but just for reminder.

Status has URL.

It's much harder to do this for text area since it's plain text, it will require a lot of parsing, checking, etc.

2.45:
* Added new right click option on text fields / areas: "Open in browser". Opens the selected text in browser. If selected text is or has URL - opens URL. If selected text doesn't have URL - opens Google search with that text.

Selected text can have multiple URLs if needed (each URL will be opened). Can also have BBCode tags around URL(s), BBCode will be ignored.

Very nice improvement!

A real cool feature would be to make link marking magnetic so that it's easier to mark links in constructs like:

Code:

[url=http://poster.freddy.lt/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7807]This is a test![/url]

I often also mark the ] and break the BBCode when replacing because of the small font and high screen resolution. :-) This suggestion goes for TM as well.

If selected text contains URL only URL will be opened ignoring everything else (BBCode, HTML, spaces around, any characters which is not a part of URL).

You can just select the whole line.

In other words, it should work as you need.

This is added in all "thema" programs (upcoming releases).

Well, my suggestion doesn't really relate to opening (which you solved well!), it's for editing.
