The closest thing to that functionality in WTP lies in the
org.eclipse.jst.jsp.ui.internal.hyperlink.TLDFileHyperlink#o pen()
method, where it tries to find a specific element in a file to show
in the XML Editor. Having an actual URL doesn't sound like
something we'd do in WTP, plus it's not really necessary to use
URLs. When you register a hyperlink detector with the platform,
there aren't many limits on what your hyperlink instance's open()
method can do if you're creative in writing it.
