[APBeta] Enhancement Request - URLs in Notes field

[RPEHLM]

Hi Gary,

I really don't see that as a problem.  A URL is humanly readable whether 
the software uses it as such or not.  Copy-pasting is a right royal pain 
in the field, where I use my laptops touchpad and not a mouse.  I find 
it much easier to right-click a User-Defined Field URL, get the context 
menu popup and select the 'Open URL in browser' item.
