I'd like to be able to download the enclosure of a selected article and have it open in my default player (VLC Media Player), automatically, with a single shortcut.
I was able to create a shortcut for downloading the article but there is no menu item for opening it, so I can't create a shortcut for that.

I think this shortcut should be standard.

There should also be a menu item to open the download in the default player, and a corresponding shortcut.
There should also be a 'Preferences' setting that allows opening a download automatically in a player when the download finishes.
There should also be a setting that would open a clicked media link in a player. Now all it does is open the link in a browser.

Note that, despite the VLC logo, the link opens in my default browser.
