Option to open an external link for a market symbol

Add an option to allow the stock symbol to open an external link..

The base external URL could be configured in settings, something like this: https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/

For example, clicking on GOOGL would append the symbol and open the link in a new tab, like this: https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/GOOGL

Hey Brian.

I’m not sure if a single base URL is a good idea, but in general it could be that there is a set of providers to choose from - like alpha, yahoo or regional ones depending on market. Then there could be an option for something entirely custom. Of course, a first version could be much simpler than that :wink:

Also, I understand you mean that it’s quickly accessible from the table - so you don’t have to open the asset - just click something. The symbol itself is a too small target to make it work on mobile, but there could be a dedicated button nearby for that.

At this moment, you can always paste the link in the Asset’s Notes - notes are then visible when you open the asset’s page and links are clickable.

I like this idea, give us a few variables to craft our own URLs.
https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol={EXCHANGE}%3A{TICKER}
where EXCHANGE = NASDAQ and TICKER = GOOGL to get me to https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=NASDAQ%3AGOOGL

This could actually be a formula, so URL could be completely dynamic
