Now that I think about your specific (bended) use case, maybe something could be done about it, i.e. if the site is opened from the browser UI I could regard the origin URL as being the same as the destination: this way, policies which allow the website to reference its own resources will also allow user to open the website, while more restrictive rules will block also direct browser loads...
