The GSU_CQXE_OpenURL global hook opens a web browser window to a specified URL. The function first opens a confirmation dialog, whose message you can customize. If the user clicks OK in the dialog, the browser opens; if the user clicks Cancel, the dialog closes and focus returns to the record form.
This functionality is available on the ClearQuest clients for Eclipse and the web. If a user attempts to open a URL from an older client, or from the ClearQuest client for Windows, the API returns an informational message. To display this message to the user, call the die function.

The following examples show a record script that you can use with the global hooks to open a URL. In these examples, clicking an OpenIBM button opens a dialog and asks whether the user wants to open a browser to the specified URL. If the user clicks OK, a browser window opens to www.ibm.com; if the user clicks Cancel, the dialog closes.
