+OK, so using $::isStandalone could work here.

+I tend to (try to) use mga# format in package changelogs, but full urls
+in svn/git commits for easy clicking. But really, keyword bookmarks
+should make shortened versions almost as useful.
+
+It would be quite nice if my shell detected "keywords" replacements like
+it does URLs... so it could detect mga#123, fdo#123, rhbz#123 bgo#123,
+bko#123, lp#123 style formats and allowed you to "Open URL" on those too
+:D Might have to look at that at some point as it would certainly have
+geek kudos :)
