Wish: Open Youtube videos in Youtube app

It's great with flash support in Opera Mobile, but it would be nice if you could get an option to open YouTube videos in the YouTube app on Android phones, when entering a YouTube video in Opera Mobile.

Flash works fine and playback support is ok, but the app often does it a lot better from my experience. The stock browser opens up YouTube videos in the YouTube app, it would be nice if Opera Mobile could do the same and maybe make it an option/feature, if not everybody like the behavior.

Yes, this is a good feature! Possible to allow the user to choose (via opera:config) between tap to load video in Youtube.com and in Youtube app?

It's great to see I'm not the only one who thinks this is very much needed.

Now we just need a Opera dev / admin to agree or at least see the suggestion...

** Edit **

I opened a bug report, as the stock browser does it correctly.

It also needs to be able to do the same with Android Market links.

Sadly it looks like Opera devs doesn't care, as this goes on ignored.

I don't see why people still +1 this request, this is already what opera mobile does.
whenever I open a YouTube page with a video(or refresh it) the video is opened in the YouTube app.
and using airvidplay you can open most streaming videos in any video player using the share button.
