Interesting. mBarcode will do this with barcodes (though not the 3D multicoloured ones (yet)).
I shall have to check it out. It would be a very nice feature to add, beeing able to instantly follow a url on any screen or surface.

If they contain a link it will automatically open it in the default browser.
there is also a Firefox plugin that wil create these codes if you right-click on a link so that you can directly scan it from the screen. I guess this is exactly what you are looking for.

EDIT: The code in this post is a DataMatrix code, don't know if mbarcode supports it but it supports QRCodes like this:
Now I also saw that 3D means 2D with colors, well, as already said, these are not supported yet (and unneeded for links in my opinion, who uses links longer than 256 signs?).
EDIT2: Just tested, it supports both 2D types.
Thanks, this is almost exactly what i wanted!
Thanks for the quick answers guys..


EDIT: I tried mbarcode with qrcode and webrequest plugins, works great! Also mobile barcoder plugin is available for both firefox and chrome Thanks again guys!
