Protocol Handler Registration via Browser Extensions – make everything intensely

Custom URL schemes have traditionally served as an integration bridge between the browser and external capabilities. Schemes such as mailto: and tel: allow navigation to trigger actions beyond ordinary HTTP resource retrieval. The HTML Standard formalizes this mechanism through the Custom Scheme Handlers API, which enables websites to register themselves as handlers for specific URL schemes.

New Custom Handlers component for Chrome – make everything intensely

The HTML Standard section on Custom Handlers describes the procedure to register custom protocol handlers for URLs with specific schemes. When a URL is followed, the protocol dictates which part of the system handles it by consulting registries. In some cases, handlers may fall to the OS level and and launch a desktop application (eg. mailto:// may launch a native application) or, the browser may redirect the request to a different HTTP(S) URL (eg. mailto:// can go to gmail).

README

This is a browser extension that provides “wormhole” navigation between different AT Protocol/Bluesky services inspired by Dame’s Shortcut. The extension transforms URLs and identifiers from one service to equivalent URLs on other services.
