getting web pages into projects

Any suggestions for quick and efficient ways to associate a URL with a
project? So far the best I've come up with is copy it into a Note, but
that's a tad annoying because I still have to open the Note to access the
link again.

I also tried copying into a Clipping, but couldn't figure out how to open
the Clipping to access the URL as a clickable link, though I could see it.

Ideally there would be a panel in the project for weblinks--and I would be
able to copy a link in, then return to that panel and click on the
appropriate link, without having to open all sorts of things in either the
initial creation or the retrieval. E.g., each project would have a Bookmarks
equivalent.

I'm just getting into using the Project Center, and using it in pretty
simple ways, mostly to collate related emails, not sharing anything. But
I'd like to go a bit further.

Ideas appreciated.

Drag the URL from the browser address bar to the desktop (or into the
project watch file). This will create a system URL clipping as opposed to a
text clipping. This can be added to the 'files' section of a project and
will appear in the files list, from where it can be double-clicked to open.

Lovely! Thanks so much, Barry. A little bit of fiddling to get myself some
convenient desktop space to drag it into, but that works great.
