I organized a lot of Links/files in a Project.
But how to add a ssh-Link to a project? I tried these 2 ways:

a) Open Safari, enter ssh://user@host in the url-field and put per Drag&Drop this to the project list. With http://xxxx this works perfect, with ssh://xxx this link is also inserted to the project, but nothing happens if I click on it.
b) Open Safari, enter ssh://user@host in the url-field and put per Drag&Drop this to the desktop or everywhere else. Then put this created weblog-file to the project. If I click on it, the xml-conmen of this file is displayed in the editor. Only if I do a right-click and "Open in finder" the ssh-Windows ist started correctly.

Same Problem with pdf-Files ... with a normal click it is opened "unreadable" in the editor-window, for viewing in Preview, I have to select "Open in finder" with right.

Is there a better way to organize these files in a project.... or any way to tell BBedit to open different files (weblog, pdf etc.) not in the editor, rather in finder, preview-app or everywhere else?

With images (JPG) in a project it works correct ... with a normal double-click the preview-app is opened ... why not with .pdf and .webloc?

I don't know if you still want to do this, but I can tell you what I did.  I opened up an FTP browser that was looking into the directory that held the file of interest.  I then dragged the file from the FTP browser window to the Project panel and a list was created for me.  Now all I have to do is click on the link in the project and the file opens for me.
