maintable: only the first linked identifier (e.g. URL, DOI, ...) can be opened

JabRef version

Other (please describe below)

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

JabRef 5.6--2022-04-25--5c9d898 Linux 4.19.0-20-amd64 amd64 Java 17.0.2 JavaFX 18+12

Checked with the latest development build

• I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
• I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

1. Open of file with an entry having multiple linked identifiers (URL, DOI, etc). Please find one below if you need
2. In the entry table, move the mouse pointer onto the "inclined chain" icon (in the column "Linked identifiers). If you leave the pointer there for a few seconds, you will see the list of the 2 linked identifiers.
3. Left-click on this icon

--> The list of linked identifiers is displayed shortly, and the first link opens in the browser.
So, you cannot select the second link. 😢

@Article{Name22,
author = {My Name},
journal = {A journal},
title = {A title},
year = {2022},
doi = {10.1145/3129790.3129810},
url = {https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-56608-5_80},
}

One approach would be to open the link directly if it is the only linked identifier present and to show the list of linked identifiers if more than one is present. This should be fairly easy to implement by making minimal changes to

jabref/src/main/java/org/jabref/gui/maintable/columns/LinkedIdentifierColumn.java

Line 32 in b938f18

public class LinkedIdentifierColumn extends MainTableColumn<Map<Field, String>> {

So is this about the maintable or about the entry-editor?

[HoussemNasri]

@ThiloteE It's about maintable. The current labeling is correct. You can also label it as a goodfirstissue because it can be fixed with minor code changes.

For whoever will work on this: #8802 is the same issue. Over there is a screenshot that depicts the place in the UI that needs to be changed.

Hi teams, I am interested to fix this issue and #8802.
Cheers.

@LIM0000 Looks like Rifat951 is already working on this.

Thanks to @Rifat951 this issue is now fixed in the latest development version:

We would like to ask you to use a development build from https://builds.jabref.org/main and report back if it works for you. Please remember to make a backup of your library before trying-out this version.
