If you're truly meaning websites, I doubt that will happen, beyond what is currently available (or made available in the future) via the Stock panel.

Each external website has its own requirements for how a program accesses it, both for searching and file retrieval. And sometimes they require prior signup and an authorization key.

What you're proposing would, I think, require a panel that implements a pretty complete web browser within the Affinity applications, and I don't see that happening. Only Serif know for sure, of course.

Walt ...Ive set up a similar thing in my Publisher that allows hyper links within documents.... I created a assets tab for external links ...problem is to use them I have to drag it into a document then go through interactive to follow the link...works fine just thats its a pain ....but thats only possible in publisher and if Im in photo or designer i have to jump around or go direct through chrome.... just wondered if a better solution was available by adding the functionality

I think that browser bookmarks are the appropriate solution for what you're doing, Paul, and that you will need to use a browser to access those external resources, anyway. But thanks for the clarification on what you were asking for.
