Eclipse-like

Usability
- Linked breadcrumb

Other Enhancements
- Bug 251308: Hyperlink Support: It would be very useful to enable hyperlink support in the editor so that plugins using Vex can make use of hyperlinks in the editor. I am thinking of something similar to org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser.addLocationListener.
Vision
