It would be nice, if there is a feature/backend to only export links from a search, to pass to another program, eg. browser.

$ remwharead -e link -s foo
https://foo.com/bar
https://bar.com/foo

or

$ remwharead -e link -s foo -o
#-o to open them rightaway in the browser

compared to buku:

buku -s foo --oa --np

I'm not sure it should open a browser automatically. What happens if there are more than 1 matches? More than 20?

It would be pretty easy to make a shell script if this is desired.

OLDIFS=${IFS}
IFS=$'\n'

for url in $(remwharead -e link -s foo); do
    xdg-open "${url}"
done

IFS=${OLDIFS}

Add export: link. A plain list of links, separated by newline. Closes #2.

I think, that is a good solution.
