Tabs and windows
Little Arx
Quick links get a small window that doesn't touch your spaces. Read and close it, or move it into a space with ⌘O.
This page is a first draft. It may change before the public beta.
Little Arx is a small, temporary window for links you want to read and close. It doesn't bring your main window forward and doesn't add anything to your spaces.
Click a link in Messages; it opens in Little Arx over the app. Read it, then press ⌘O to move it into the Work space.

The bar and the window
Little Arx starts as a command bar. Type an address or search, and it expands into a compact window with Back, the address, site information, a copy-link button and a profile picker. The bar closes when it loses focus, or with Esc.
Little Arx bar position sets where the bar appears: top right (default), top center, top left or the center of the screen.
Switching the profile reopens the page's URL in that profile; cookies don't come along.
Keep the page
Open in ‹space›, or ⌘O, moves the page into that space in the main window. The arrow next to it lists your other spaces, with a search. Within the same profile the live page moves as it is; into another profile Arx asks first and reopens it fresh.
Little Arx windows aren't saved or restored, and their pages don't go into your history.
