It seems to me that it is not possible to open more than one web browser view (Window/Show View/web open only one view) and the URL is hardcoded at BrowserContainerView class. Probably I can make my new plugin with link hardcoded to other URL but I would suggest that it is better to let user to choose this link. 


Cheers,
Jan.
