Clippings 7.0rc4

When a user has an older version of Sync Clippings Helper installed, the "Download now" link appears in the Sync Clippings settings dialog. But clicking on it opens the link in the current tab.

This is also an unresolved bug with the link to the Sync Clippings page that appears in the Sync Clippings settings dialog if the user doesn't have the native messaging app installed.

There is an event handler for hyperlinks in the extension preferences page that causes clicks on them to open in a new browser tab. But the event handler is defined before the links in the Sync Clippings settings dialog, which are shown or hidden dynamically at runtime, not during page initialization.

Workaround: CTRL+click on the hyperlink to cause it to open in a new tab.
