Enable Link Preview on a per Application basis

dannb

I've become a fan of Link Preview, but there are certain applications where I never want to use it. Currently Link Preview is either always on or always off. It would be great to be able to control this on a per-application basis.

Globally enable Link Preview, but set an exception for Alfred, Slack, and 1Password. These applications would always open links without Preview.
Globally disable Link Preview, but set an exception for an Email Client. This email client would always use Link Preview, but links from all other applications would open straight to a users Orion window.

This could be an Advanced setting in the Browsing tab, where users could either enable or disable Link Preview, and then choose individual applications to be exceptions.

For now, you can shift+click links to bypass the preview window and have them open in a new tab instead (useful for Slack and email clients, namely).
Additionally you can press cmd+t to quickly expand the preview window into a new tab.

I understand neither of those fully removes the annoyances experienced when using a CLI tool or something like Alfred where you open the links via a keyboard shortcut, removing the ability to shift click them.

Nevertheless, I hope the above serves as a workaround while this issue gathers more support.

laiz Yes, I've been aware of these options and currently use them. The suggestion I submitted would be preferable, but current functionality does work as you described.
