Because the current tech preview does not yet support accelerated 3D graphics, I have found myself using the host's browser (Chome) much more. And one thing that occurred to me is that it would be fantastic if, via xdg-open, I could open a browser tab on the host from within the guest.
I've had a search around and not been able to find anything like this.
Would this be feasible?
From linux, this should be possible using open-vm-tools and setting the application to open on the host. On windows, without VMWare tools, there's not much you'll be able to do.
Oh wow, please can you point me towards some details on how to configure this?
