I see that, but my only options are "open in application" (which 
downloads the file complete, and then opens it in the helper app) or 
"save to disk" (which downloads the file but does not launch the helper 
app). I would like to see an option that passes the URL to the helper 
application, so that that app can handle the loading/streaming of the 
media file directly. That already happens with Windows Media Player (not 
sure why) with Mozilla and Firefox under OS X; I'd like to see a similar 
function for Real and Quicktime players.

Thanks,
