Clicking on the URLs provided by content authors in the 'Check online content' menu should see that URL opened in the player's web browser.

There are definitely cross-platform ways to do this, too bad I don't know them. Could always ask another open source developer.

Reported version: trunk
Operating system: All

Actually, you can already do this. There's a button that says 'visit website' at the bottom. Thanks to frosch123 for pointing this out

But years with graphical, WIMPy ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIMP_(computing) ) web browsers have taught people to click on links. You should be able to click it anyway, and it will open in your browser.

Oh okay, never mind. According to frosch:

Superuser: ottd's text engine does not support clicking into text
drawing bidirectioanl text is hard enough, interacting with it even more

Closure requested.

We got URL buttons in NewGRF and script views.
