XMPP Client - Better URL management

This series of task revolves around improving Jabber4Haiku, an XMPP client for BeOS.

https://github.com/HaikuArchives/Jabber4Haiku

The client has basic functionality (contact list, sending and receiving messages, group chats) but could be improved with many advanced features.

The goal of this task is to improve the management of URLs in the chat window. Currently, a click (with any mouse button) will open the URL in a browser. The required improvements are:

  • When the cursor hovers the URL, it should change to a different one (as it happens in the web browser)
  • When right clicking the URL, instead of opening it, there should be a pop-up menu allowing at least to open the URL or copy it to clipboard
  • When left clicking, it should open as it does now.
