Following HTML link from org-mode in existing w3m

Following HTML link from org-mode in existing w3m

[Csányi Pál]

Hello!

GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.8.20) of
2008-06-23 

In org-mode if I click with mouse on html: link, the link opens in
Firefox new tab.

I try to customize Org mode but there I can't find any relevant option
for this.

I wish that that the html: link in org-mode can be opened in an
existing w3m window. Is this possible?

Should be, it's Emacs after all.  Try customizing group browse-url.

I use this:

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'w3m-browse-url)

You might also be interested in this

(global-set-key
 (quote [f4])
 (lambda()
   (interactive)
   (cond 
    ((setq url (w3m-url-valid (w3m-anchor)))
     (browse-url-firefox url)) 
    (t (command-execute 'browse-url-firefox)))))

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'w3m-browse-url)


Here I can open a "link" in an html email/post in external firefox using
F4 but standard return is w3m. There are many pages where w3m doesn't
cut the mustard. The "cond" statement above extracts the url from a
formatted link in an html article/mail in a w3m/gnus-html buffer.
