Hello there! I really dig the app, but you know what would rock even
more? An option to select in which browser would you like the
spotlight results to open.

You see, I usually browse my Google Docs through a Fluid.app instance
(I bet I'm not alone) and it would really suit my workflow if the
documents would open directly in that app instead of the default
browser.

Anyway, thanks for the little but really useful enhancement to an
already pleasant workspace.


Cheers,
Miha Filej

I second the recommendation to "send to Fluid" (or any other
browser). I asked this in Fluid's FriendFeed room too:

I'll certainly consider adding a hidden preference to control the
handling application for Docs urls. In order for that to do any good
though, Fluid would need to know how to handle URL open requests; I
haven't used it, so I'm not sure if that's the case.

I just checked in support for doing this via a hidden pref, so this
will be possible in the next release (I've tested with Fluid, and it
works fine).
