Following a link in preview

Question

I used to build my website with a very old program (don't laugh: AOLPress) that's not working with actual OS.

Now I like to rebuild/relaunch my site with Dreamweaver.

What I liked very much on AOLPress: I was able to klick through my website like a browser and edit it at the same time.

A click on a link opened the linked page and I could continue editing.

Is there a chance to edit Dreameaver's options so that I can jump to another page (f.ex) doubleclicking the link?

Can I edit shortcuts?

The patch I found is rightclicking the link and then chose "open linked page" (?) in a second click.
This does not seem to work within frames: DW opens a new page.

And yes: I will get rid of frames asap, but my first step will be learn more about handling DW.
So I have to handle my old framed-site for a while with Dreamweaver.

In Live View, you can Ctrl+Click on links to other pages to ensure the links work but you cannot edit the 2nd page because technically you're still in the main document. To edit files, you must first open them from your local Files Panel (F8) - see screenshot.Nancy

Preview your site in a real browser by right-clicking the open document Tab (or any HTML file in your Files Panel). Select Open in Browser. This is not the same as Real-Time Preview which is little dicey for some things.

Frames are horrible for many reasons. Getting rid of Frames should be your top priority as they are not web & mobile friendly.
