I'm not 100% sure I understand you correctly: You want to have a way to open a node specific website/link in your local web browser. Is that correct?
Currently there is only a tedious way to do that. You can create "custom console" commands, that can start any program on your GUI system with the parameters you want. That doesn't need to be a application creating a console, It can start a web browser, for example, or anything else, including scripts.
I wrote a blog article about integration of program/scripts into GNS3, maybe that will give you some ideas: https://www.b-ehlers.de/blog/posts/2018-01-12-gns3-integrate-programs/.
In that article I presented a tools system, that would be quite flexible, I proposed that in issue https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-gui/issues/708#issuecomment-529929063.

Yes, your solution is interesting and you understood correctly my request, thanks.
possibly a simple GUI extension would be enough, honestly I thought about this for two main reasons:
1) opening Web interfaces on nodes without bookmarking each lab (and without killing the console option by overwriting it) 2) execute actions by just a double click (I would see this option too along with right click + option)
Hi Everyone,
This is more of a usability feature but I guess not too hard to implement:
I would like to have an option to run a custom link along with the normal console for a node, one use case can be to open a web GUI for a node that has a webserver or in the end any type of link.
Another nice feature would be to run scripts on the guest operating system but this would be maybe a little too much and carry the burden of portability.
Thanks all
