I do not mind adding several useful link protocols. But which ones?
Org cannot just treat arbitrary [[foo:bar]] as links because it will
break internal link references like
[[ref:one]]
<<ref:one>>
So, we cannot just say: use `browse-url' when the link type is known.
The link types in Org are a closed list.
What we can do is add some more known link types. Some of them will use
`browse-url' as :follow link parameter.
However, what are the link types which are worth including into the Org
code? I am looking into the protocols supported by Firefox now.
They are: mailto, news, nntp, snwes, afp, data, disk, disks, hcp, htp,
htps, http, iehistory, ierss, ile, javascript, le, mk, moz-icon,
ms-help, ms-msdt, ps, res, search, search-ms, shell, tps, ttp, ttps,
vbscript, vnd.ms.radio, and file.
Note that mid: is not listed.
Suggestions welcome. Probably, we can at least support the protocols
available via Emacs packages (e.g. notmuch does support mid: links).
