+custom links to the popup menu of any object. It opens a small window
+in which you enter the &URL; of the link, and the text you want to
+appear in the popup menu. There is also a pair of radio buttons which
+allow you to specify whether the &URL; is an image or an
+<acronym>HTML</acronym> document, so &kstars; knows whether to launch
+the web browser or the image viewer. You can use this to add links to
+files on your local disk, so this feature could be used to attach
+observing logs or other custom information to objects in &kstars;.
+Your custom links are automatically loaded whenever &kstars; starts up,
+and they are stored in the folder <filename
+class="directory">~/.kde/share/apps/kstars/</filename>, in files
+<filename>myimage_url.dat</filename> and
+<filename>myinfo_url.dat</filename>. If you build an extensive list
+of custom links, consider submitting them to us, we would like to
+include them in the next version of &kstars;!
