An interesting feature of HotdogEd is the support for FGHI URLs (basic area:// + msgid schema):

- you can copy any message's FGHI URL to the clipboard
- when you click on a FGHI URL from a message, the referenced message will be opened. (If it is not available in your messagebases it will try to open it on the website you have defined in General settings, default: fido.g0x.ru)

But... the bad news is that it does not work for areas that don't have at least one dot in the echo tag - there is no link to click on.

Therefore it's useless for most international/English echos, except a few like FIDOSOFT.HUSKY, FIDONET.ORG or FIDONET.TELEGRAM.
It works perfect, however, for RU.*, ESP.*, BR.*, *.GER, *.ITA, etc.

Some examples:

These work:
area://fidosoft.husky/?msgid=2:5057/77+63c1b24d
area://ru.fidonet.today/?msgid=2:6035/3+63b12236
area://fidonet.org/?msgid=2:292/854+1b421210

These don't:
area://hotdoged/?msgid=2:221/1.0+633319b4
area://ftsc_public/?msgid=1:320/219@fidonet+56afd8a7

(I think that it only recognizes those whose echo tags look like a domain name.)
