Boostnote: Don't open external links in the preview window
OS : Windows 10 64 bits.
Since version 0.11.4(2018/4/11), when clicking on a link from preview, the link is loaded into the preview webview.
When switching to another note into the same folder, the note is displayed with styles included from the loaded website.
Previewing a note contained in another folder obviously resets stylesheets to the default appearance.
Links should be opened with the OS default browser instead.

I totally agree with the comment above!!
Nobody wants to open the links in the preview window when we already expect links to be opened in our preferred webbrowser!
Please do not do this. Please please don't! Guys, come on! This feature is a terrible idea. Thanks.

@AlexisEspinosaGayosso I think this is not a feature, this looks like a bug.

To add to this, if you're not using the split-screen editing mode, the website takes over the entire note view (screenshot 1), it also causes an additional issue - the styles from that website stay applied even if you switch to different note (screenshot 2).

Links should be opened with the OS default browser should be a default behaviour or at least let us have a preferences option for another things.

Just came here to express my opinion on this behaviour. I'm OSX Boostnote user. At least I want links to be opened in browser when I hit it with CMD button pressed.
And if the links opens in Boostnote itself I would like to have a "Back" button or Cmd + Shift + [ hotkey working.

I want to work on this issue and plan to solve it with a pull request in several days.
If anyone has already solved this issue, please let me know so that I don't have to do redundant work, thanks :)
