Associate a URL with an object
It would be very nice to have, as an object property, the ability to define a URL. To be really useful, there would also need to be UI that allowed this link to be launched - e.g. an entry in the rightclick menu.

This would enable many behaviours. You could add a link to the site where you intended to purchase the item. You could add a link to the site where the item's characteristics were described in detail, e.g. instructions for use. You could add a link to a local file such as a photograph or invoice.

Some URL's would trigger launch of a browser, but the user expectation would be that selecting a link to a file would trigger whatever association mechanism was relevant on the local platform.
