For now it just grabs the first one that is an actual link. I.e. the first idref that points to an <a> or <area> which has a href attribute. But it'd be easy to make make it take action on all links (we currently take action by opening a new window, so we'd simply open multiple windows). Alternatively it looked like we could let the user choose which one, but I need confirmation from someone that knows our code better. / Jonas
