Hi Juri,
Yes, that's a good approach too, thank you! I think the downsides of
this suggestion (in comparison to creating appropriate buttons for URIs
during the display of Dictionary results) are:
1) An unnecessary IO call to fetch Dictionary results that we already
know before-hand that will fail.
2) Lack of appropriate information for user (e.g.: help in echo-area
with `display-local-help').
I personally prefer the other approach of creating appropriate buttons
for URIs, but I am open to any solution.
