What is an 'Open URL'?

Answer

An URL (uniform resource locator) is basically a web site. So an open URL is the active web page you are looking at. If you look at the address bar in IE, the http://www. mywebsite.com (or whatever it says)is the url.

Answer

It's a way of making context sensitive linking easier. It transports metadata about the relevant page. It's NOT the page you happen to be looking at at the moment. I'm not sure how it works though.
