Open a link from one browser into another browser
I find myself often copying a link from one browser to another because I want to use a plugin not available in the current browser. Would be cool if Choosy was available within a browser or on the address bar to open the link under the cursor in a browser of choice.
This is already possible using the Choosy browser plugins for Chrome, Safari & Firefox; they add a Choosy button to the browser’s toolbar that brings up the Choosy prompt so you can send the page you’re looking at to another browser.
You’ll find all the plugins here:

Just noticed that with StopTheMadness you can configure Safari at least to work this way.
It has some basic rules you can use to tell it to open different browsers, but you can also have it trigger Choosy. So you can have a basic URL rule that triggers Choosy, which could in turn process more complicated rules.

Any chance of having it automatically work when links are clicked?
It would also be useful if when there is a rule match, clicking on the button in the toolbar or contextual menu would automatically process that rule instead of showing the pop up.

Any chance this could extend to advanced rules set in System Preferences? I often have Gmail open in one browser and click links that open to a website, but I'm only logged into that website on another browser. I thought I could just make an advanced rule that would cover the use case, but it doesn't seem to work when the link is already in a browser.

Really would like this functionality - being able to click a link in one browser and have it open the choosy browser selection or automatically open in another browser
