Org protocol needs to be registered system-wide to work. We did x-scheme-handler/org-protocol, but even that is controversial (and does not work outside Linux). Adding more will be unlikely. In theory, Emacs may introduce some kind of "meta" protocol to "open" things that are not files, but that is something that needs to be discussed on emacs-devel. It will also not work if Emacs is not installed. Another possibility is Emacs website publishing all the docstrings as separate manual, but that's again something to be discussed on emacs-devel. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
