Hyperlinks in text files should use the workbench browser support. I found two
issues with the current approach:

1) The preferences on General > Web Browser are not respected (e.g. opening in
an internal vs. in an external browser).

2) When clicking a hyperlink in a text file, the link is opened in an already
open browser window (at least here on WinXP with Mozilla). It should open in a
new window like links from the help view (e.g. search for "bla", then click on
Google | Web Search).
