Description
Hey,
we are using Zulip and are having a problem for some of our custom launcher we'd link to linkify.
The links are :// unfortunatly this will always be opened in the browser as the custom protocol is not part of the list. ["http:", "https:", "mailto:"]
Would there be an option to ad custom protocol launcher to the settings which will look like:
"protocolLaunchers": {
"": "mylauncher",
}
In https://github.com/zulip/zulip-desktop/blob/main/app/common/link-util.ts
The pseudo-code my look like:
...
if (["http:", "https:", "mailto:"].includes(url.protocol)) {
await shell.openExternal(url.href);
} elif (procolLaunchers.includes(url.protocol)) {
executable = procolLaunchers[url.protocol]
command = url.pathname.replace(/^\/+/g, "") + url.search + url.hash
await shell.openExternal(executable + " " + command );
}
else
....
This is an option which might gives the opertunity that users can create clickable links which e.g. open files in applications while keeping the secruity menitoned in:
// For security, indirect links to non-whitelisted protocols
// through a real web browser via a local HTML file.
As the protocolLaunchers can be configured manually.
What do you think about this, happy to help/cotnribute this with a PR if it's cool :)
