Rather not. Amarok embedded HTML engine for simple purpose Wikipedia,
evantually lyrics. That pages are relatively simple and can be
streamlined to very narrow space by preprocessing[1]. If
pro-photographer[2] or photo agency place link in metadata they will
point to full site which will be massacred in such small space and not
useful for user (and practically useless from advertising point of
view).

Parsing of URLs (both WWW and mails) in metadata and creating links from
them to open in external application when clicked - definitely yes.

Full embedding of HTML into digiKam - rather not.

[1] When Amarok wanted to make something more with it they *completely*
redesigned interface to put context view in the middle to use more
space. This solution is impractical for digiKam.
[2] Also: why this feature should be reserved for pro-players and their
content of copyright metadata? For example I spent Easter in small nice
hotel, I'd like to embed URL of web page of this place in comment and
would like to click on it in future when I'd like to make reservation.
