Ah ... but it won't be a plugin, then ... just a helper application. I
know there used to be an option in Netscape Navigator for configuring
the application helper. It had a "Handle With ..." group where you could
choose whether to Save to a file, Execute an Application, or Handle with
Plugin (not sure how to specify which plugin it would be).
