I am not a fan of flash and in the day-to-day use of Vimprobable I have never
run into the need of something like this. But I wouldn't vote against it if
it doesn't require much resources.

What I have been thinking about is a efficient way to shoot the current URL
into an external script. Whatever that script does, is up to the user.
Perhaps this is a more generic approach, that would allow for something you 
want but also allow users to come up with much more usefull things.

OTOH, I do this now with the usage of the windowmanager. I do a yank of
the current URL into the copy-and-paste buffer, and let ratpoison do the 
work (with "get-selection"). So if this could be done from within 
ratpoison, perhaps it could also be done from within other 
windowmanagers ...

Cheers,
