Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/retspen/webvirtmgr/issues/511

It would be convenient for the purpose of launching an external SPICE (or vnc) viewer if the vnc:// or spice:// link were available inside the GUI, to save having to visit the XML to find the port.

In some case, it's can't be possible because the console is listening on localhost (127.0.0.1) so the console can't be reached without SSH tunnel (or something else). How do you think we have to handle this cases ?

The simplest answer is probably to permit override of the link address.

What do you mean about override the link address ? Permit the user to enter a different link, stock it and display it instead of calculated links if present ?

Yes, just so. You'll never second-guess every possibility...
