Hi,

I guess we're all familiar with documents (say, emails) containing links to 
websites that are not "clickable", so you have to copy and then paste them into 
your browser.

I've tried to come up with something to use the Web Shortcuts feature to open 
them with just 2 clicks, but failed until now. The feature really seems to be 
designed to open the selected text in a search engine.

I guess that what you'd need is an existing simple web proxy that takes an 
encoded URL and then sends you there, so you could create a shortcut to 
something like `https://go.to/\{@}`. I haven't found one yet (hard to come up 
with a selective search key!).
Alternatively, if the feature supports local file URLs and those support 
arguments, you could replace the `https://go.to/` part with a 
`file://path/to/goto.html/` file.

I have about zero experience doing web/html/JS coding but maybe someone here 
can tell me if this is possible and give me some pointers?

Thanks,
R.
