Public bug reported:
Some apps may want to trigger a web search in the browser. Right now
there is the possibility to do something like
Qt.openUrlExternally("https://google.com?q=foobar";)
However, the search engine might be blocked in some countries or not be
the user's favourite one. It would be great if we could do something
like:
Qt.openUrlExternally("websearch://foobar")
I haven't fully thought the websearch:// scheme through yet, so probably
this requires a case study on the used uri scheme and/or query
arguments. Maybe there's some standard uri scheme for this? Or maybe
even just something like http://foobar?
