Hello,

I have the document D1 with the URL1 inside the green Domain.

If I click on this domain, than the green Domain with the firefox is starting...

Can I define, that all URL's, which get opened by clicking on the URL, are opend in another domain with the appropiate web-security level, e.g. red?

This would be cool and keeps a higher level of the security of e.g. a database domain.

Best Regards,
Kersten

You can define it in OS level (default applications in GUI)
You can use qvm-open-in-vm or qvm-open-in-dvm commands to open new links...

Has anyone added a new menu entry such as "Open Link in New qube VM" to Firefox's context menu, maybe under "Open Link in New Tab" for example? If not, I'll post a link to it when I've finished it (would require recompiling firefox btw - and I'm still learning how to do it under Fedora 28) because I really need something like this in order to open links from my google-search-VM into other VM(s).

This is a long standing open issue (https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1661).
If you do make progress, link to it there also.
Good luck

I've seen a couple versions of this. One was discussed on qubes-devel a
few months ago, but forget where I saw the second...

Was this the second version: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-devel/fsIAQO1xFkU/u1C61kxCBgAJ ?
that is: https://github.com/raffaeleflorio/qubes-url-redirector
I ask because it says: "Furthermore, through context menu entries, you can open a specific link in a custom way. Currently you can open links in: DVM, a default-VM, a specific VM and in this VM."

I haven't checked it yet, but sounds great!

Yes, that's one of them! The second method was simpler, I think it
involved creating a custom menu entry but it would always be hardcoded to
a specific disposable VM. Can't find it in my notes.
