Not bug, just the recent thread on ML.

The situation as I see it:
1) There seems to be consesus that:
   - we should ask the user by dialog before launching a) hyperlinks b) citation urls from bib file c) lyxpaperview searches.
   - the dialog should have  "don't ask me again" option remembered per file
   - the dialog should explicitly contain URL/link itself

2) There is hesitation whether to have general RC variable to disable the dialog above in general.

3) Either add security warning (tooltip?) to Control>Search drive for cited files
   or move the whole checkbox to Converters>Security and make it obvious that way
   The move itself makes more sense in case we go for 2 to group everything on one spot.
   


The immediate security concern is covered by 1. 
2 can be added later or never. 3 is disabled by default and hint can be added later as well.
