System

Source: src/mpfb/ui/system/webresources/

Parent panel: MPFB_PT_System_Panel ("System and resources")

Overview

The "Web resources" panel provides six buttons that each open a project-related URL in the system's default web browser. It is aimed at developers and users who need to quickly reach documentation, the support forum, the source repository, or the asset library without leaving Blender. No character or scene object needs to be present for the panel to be usable.

Each button is rendered by the _url() helper method, which instantiates the mpfb.web_resource operator and sets its url property before the button is drawn. Clicking the button invokes the operator, which calls Python's standard webbrowser.open().
