Since this is an extra step, and could lead to fewer people following through, it might make sense to have it immediately go to the URL instead of showing that dialogue, or at the very least, having it as an available filter or option in the plugin.

Research direction

Start at the Apply button flow for a job whose employer-submitted listing is a URL, with no add-ons activated, and reproduce the prompt shown in the issue. Use the existing behavior and the requested direct-navigation alternative to establish the accepted scope; done means the chosen URL handling works without the extra prompt.
