Interaction ideas from the web

Is this possible? As in browsing to :clock#newalarm2359 or :cal#show20161231 via a href links on a page in the browser? If so, please tell how, you'll have started my day very well.

I imagine if such user-empowering functionality doesn't yet exist please name and describe some dbus calls or dbus listeners that can pick out non-http, non-file URLs (for example) that simply start with : that run a named abbreviation for an application instead of loading a search/advertising engine.

To dismiss or disallow such a thing because of standards would be no way to lead, or stand out.

The regular expression /\:*/ or another yet simpler means to catch addresses starting : would surely not add appreciably to the processing time seen by the browser user.

On catching the colon, the browser would parse the URL or defer to another process to run its dbus/xdg-open command, logging that it had done so in the new, datetime-stamped browser and user interaction history frontend, that dbus so sorely could benefit users by having.

A better regex would have been /^\:/ but the mystery Jolla phone browser settings' absence of comment edit box scrollability prevents me from correcting the first one I typed.

To prefix a browser location with : feels a pleasantly like a hat tip to vi :)

Retagged dbus and removed feature-request while I explore how much can be done using dbus before clear ideas emerge around possible useful future features to request.
