i added .lynx$ cat external
EXTERNAL:http:echo -n %s|xclip -i:TRUE
EXTERNAL:http:wget %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:http:mpv %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:http:git clone %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:http:links -g %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:http:chrome %s:TRUE

and get with '.' in lynx

   w3m https://cmdt.ch/              │
 │ wget https://cmdt.ch/             │
 │ wget -r https://cmdt.ch/          │
 │ x-www-browser https://cmdt.ch/    │
 │ echo -n https://cmdt.ch/|xclip -i │
 │ wget https://cmdt.ch/             │
 │ mpv https://cmdt.ch/              │
 │ git clone https://cmdt.ch/        │
 │ links -g https://cmdt.ch/         │
 │ chrome https://cmdt.ch/

choosing
echo -n https://cmdt.ch/|xclip -i

is doing nothing (at least nothing in clipboard).
wget for example is working.
???

and where are the the other entries coming from (w3m, ...)?

but this external things is greath!
thanks a lot
