Me too!  I just tried it for the first time this morning and I think
this is going to be very useful.

Lots of my tasks have website links which are exposed by this.  It would
be even more useful if I can click on the links to go there as in the
regular org file.

Even without that this hack looks like a keeper to me :)

Thanks,
