A system comprising:
- a processor-based device;
- an interface to connect said device to the Internet;
- a storage coupled to said device, said storage to store a browser application and a non-browser application, said storage further to store software to, in response to a request for address information from a non-browser application, access a web page for display, automatically identify a variable signifying address information in the hypertext document displayed via the browser application, an indicator associated with a hypertext element within the hypertext document that is determined to be compatible with said non-browser application, and automatically extract the variable and provide the extracted variable as input data into the non-browser application;
- and
- further comprising automatically overlaying an icon corresponding to the non-browser application on a user interface if the indicator is compatible with the non-browser application.
