I think it is useful to see the URL/target and then decide. If I get a
document from someone else and the proposed link looks suspicious, I'd
rather not open it. Other links might look trustworthy and I can
proceed for those.

Of course, if the document and bib file is all mine, I can trust all
links right away.
