Improve link title behaviour for login-protected sites

In my maps I often add links pointing to our internal Confluence, Sharepoint, JIRA, or Azure DevOps, which require a login. MindManager obviously cannot retrieve the real link title without login and instead displays the login page title. - Not great but expected.

But when I manually remove (=make empty) the incorrect link title, the wrong title reappears directly after saving.

I would like to recommend:

  • When a link title is emptied by the user, leave it empty. Don't try to reload the link title from URL.
  • Add an option to not load link titles from linked pages, similar to the existing option "Show favicons for web links".
  • Use the same Web control and shared cookie jar for link titel retrieval as for internal browser window, so that I can follow the link, log in, and from there on MindManager can retrieve the real page title.

PS: Of course it would be even better if MindManager could access the page with login. I tried following the link in MindManager's internal browser and logging in, but this doesn't help. Looks like the internal link retrieval and the internal browser don't share the same Web control or cookie jar.
