I have noticed that if I attach a URL as an attachment in Bugzilla, and
view the attachment in the Bugzilla template in Eclipse, it will open
the attachment as a text file in the web browser where the content of
the page is the URL. I think this is an issue with Bugzilla, as it does
the same thing when I click the attachment; however, is there a way for
Mylyn to recognize that the attachment is a URL and render it in the
browser that way?

PS It would be great if the "URL" title of the URL field was presented
as a hyperlink to the URL if one is stored in that field. I don't (yet)
see a way to launch the URL without copy-paste.

Thanks again for all your hard work on this project - I love it. ;)

Bugzilla doesn't support opening this form of attachment out of th box.
Bugzilla does however provide a URL field. It currently doesn't turn
into a hyperlink in the Task Editor but this a known issue:

151450: Hyperlink depends on, blocks and URL field

Additionally if you paste a url directly into a comment this will be
hyperlinked.
