Is there a way to make a clickable link that opens the client with the amount of BTC to send and the receiving address?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

MultiBit already also supports it. So I am hoping that we can adjust the forum software to make using Bitcoin URIs much easier once 0.7 is out.

Probably best not to solely use the URI link method for payments though. Best to mix it with QR codes and copy and paste addresses.

Exactly. Never assume what technology the client will have access to a checkout page with a text address that is a link to the bitcoin uri and a qr code covers all your bases and doesn't take up much more space than just one method. |

Hopefully, this will be ubiquitous across Bitcoin clients, and then it will be just like regular URLs : for most people it will just work, and if not, they know how to copy it into the browser. For now, that's why the Armory URL creator encourages you to include the plaintext info too, when creating and sending such links.  |

v0.6.x doesn't. v0.7 will support it (or, the v0.7 rc1 already does). 0.6 supports it on my computer and very conveniently I must say (e.g. click multiple URIs and send them all at once in a single transaction), though it wasn't installed automatically if that's what you mean. |
