You could do something like that as an external-viewer, but that would
involve running another copy of lynx as a subprocess (not good for

process containing the history up to that point).

And the subprocess would not inherit the cokies, would it ?

right

The only thing analogous to reading a script is the provision for running
an external editor in textarea's (which would-be-nice-if the same feature
worked in any string-prompt).

Perhaps what you're looking for is some hybrid of those two areas
(requiring new code to support it).

Assuming a patch implementing the back-quote expansion in the goto URL
prompt, or something similar, would such a pach be accepted ?

probably

Of course, one may imagine that this behaviour is disabled by default
and can be enalbled through a configuration option.

right - it should be configurable
