This seems like one of those conveniences that will be just as
inconvenient to some as it is convenient to others. I use this for
opening Hacker News links via Gwene, where I only ever open "Comment",
not "Link", so now it does exactly the wrong thing.

I think a customization option is a fine idea, but it's impossible to
guess what any given user is going to want from it.
