Thanks Torsten, I can confirm that clicking external links now works for me, and you are probably right that the links I had tried were probably broken.

Closing report as fixed.

External links should open in the default browser and they do on my system. However, there were some external links in the documentation that without correctly specified url-scheme, i.e., ftp://, http(s)://. I have pushed changeset http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/ab32fd297202 which adds those missing schemes in the related txi-files.

I didn't mention but I am talking about clicking in the GUI documentation browser.

There are a number of external http(s) links referenced in the manual, but clicking those links does nothing. I would expect those external links to be opened in my default web browser.
