In my experience, dragging a link in Tunesviewer to desktop usually works. Double click the link it creates and it opens that page - opens in Tunesviewer from Firefox.

I just tried now, and when I drag some it seemed to do nothing, or give an error on the link, like the Harvard link from iTunesU -> Harvard University on top.

What desktop environment are you using and how does it break, with one particular type of link on the page? No guarantees on this as I am not sure these are builtin Gnome/Nautilus bugs or something that could be easily changed within the html view, or the GUI code of Tunesviewer.

Hi! Maybe I didn't explain the request well. What you suggest works (Ubuntu), I can drag and drop a link into the desktop and have a shortcut on the desktop. What I wanted was the option within the tunesviewer desktop application to save bookmarks. I know that the android version supports a favourites/bookmark feature, that's why I mentioned "desktop" explicitly. I don't like to have shortcuts on my desktop and the "desktop icon > browser > open tunesviewer" is a sub-optimal solution. A simple "favourites" folder inside the application would solve this issue. Cheers!
