- This sets a clickable hyperlink for the transaction ID text on the transaction detail window.
- The links points to https://blockexplorer.com/tx/${transactionid}
- This is very handy because avoid copying the transaction id, opening the browser, going to blockexplorer and pasting the transaction id.
- When sending money to someone sometimes is useful to give them the link to the corresponding blockexplorer transaction id. Is also useful to easily check advanced details of the transaction.

NACK, shouldn't endorse any specific service like this, and there's no reason we couldn't display the details in the client itself.

Also, NAK, but I wanted to also thank @clopez for taking the time to actually implement something and write a pull request, even if this particular change isn't one we want. Generally prefer to keep functionality 'internal' rather than direct people to centralized services, and we already have a pretty good transaction detail decoder in Bitcoin (e.g. open the console and run getrawtransaction).

It's a bit ironic, as we have all the information on every client. We could display it much faster and more secure locally, shouldn't need to link to a service such as block explorer.

But thanks for actually implementing a solution instead of complaining!

I see. I also think is better to keep the functionality internal.

It would be awesome if someone writes a nice GUI to show the info that btcexplorer.com or blockchain.info actually shows.

I am closing this pull request. Thanks for the comments.
