Using third-party url addresses in UR

Some third-party programs offer access to their data via special url addresses. For example, Biblioscape (a bibliographic program) allows its program to be activated and a reference displayed by means of an cut-and-pasted url, e.g.:

biblioscape://RefID=1404

Web Research (used to be ContentSaver) also allows one to copy the web address of data (e.g., htm pages and pdf files) to other programs, e.g.:

wr://DocID=FDF4E188-ADCA-486C-8628-C108D8B39DBB&ArchiveID=3D7420D4-B63D-11D7-9E28-AD9257ECAA38

In MS-Word, for example, one activates "hyperlink" and pastes the address into a document, then Ctrl-clicks on it to activate the third-party program and open it to the data in question.

I am sure that an earlier version of UR allowed these addresses to be activated, but now I can't find a way of doing it. There appears to be no way of "turning on" the pasted addresses to make them into usable hyperlinks.

Can anyone help me out with this?

Derek
