Hi,

sure it is. Underneath the combobox there's a custom option, into which you can
set up any program that you can think of. There's the checkbox also that tells
Ubuntu to run that command in terminal, so it's totally possible to set links
open in, well, links for example. :) Or lynx.

Just remember to add '%s' next to the file name, so that the command opens an
URL into the application that is started.
