Make Landmark button everywhere you get a teleport button

I often look into other people's profiles to find interesting new places. Sometimes I also search for stuff and can't immediately teleport to interesting places I find.

It would be useful if one could create a landmark directly from those screens displaying a teleport button to visit those places later (and not just minimize and hope the client doesn't crash).

It would also be useful for teleport offers since you sometimes have to try a few times when the lag is bad and telling people to repeat the offer sucks.

Apparently they used to have a landmark button on the map.

It was removed.

Why? My guess is that it can't tell whether the destination parcel has landmarks enabled, and people complained about people stting landmarks on their parcel regardless.

So now they give you an slurl instead.

1. This is less convenient.
2. Why a SLURL and not the secondlife://sim/... URL that the SLURL points to, so you can feed it in when SLURL is flakeY?
3. Ironically, this makes SLURLs functionally equivalent to landmarks.

My feature suggestion is "eliminate the ability to prevent landmarks from bing set, since it no longer serves any purpose".
